 DECIMALS AND TENTHS
We can show decimals in tenths on a number line.

Divide the line between 0 and 1 into 10 equal parts.

From 0, count on in steps of 0.1

 0 =1

0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 Tenths place is always
out of 10.
Example 1:
0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2….

Example 2:
11.6, 11.7, 11.8, 11.9, 12, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3….

Fraction = Remember!!!
Decimal = 0.4  = = 0.5
Read – Zero point four.  = 0.25
 = 0.75
What is bigger 0.7 or ?
Solution:
Step 1: To Convert fractions into decimals (Make denominator 10)
Step 2: Compare both
Answer: = = = 0.8
0.7 < 0.8 , 0.7 <

Read – Zero point zero five.
HOW TO COMPARE OR ORDER
FRACTIONS?
• Example: Compare 83.49 and 83.53
Step 1: Check the whole number part.

Step 2: If both are equal: Check Tenths place.

Step 3: If both tenths are equal: Check hundredths place.

Solution:
Answer: 83.49 < 83.53
 Hundredths- Round to the
nearest 10th and whole number
When rounding a number with 1
decimal place to the nearest whole
number, we look at the digit in the
Decimal Round to the nearest Round to the nearest whole
tenths place. If the digit in the tenths
number 10th number place is less than 5, we round down.
(Check hundredths (Check tenths place)
place)
42.49 42.5 Because of 9 42 (tenths place – 4)
42.50 42.5 Because of 0 43 (tenths place – 5) If the digit in the tenths
42.53 42.5 because of 3 43 ( tenths place > 5) place is 5 or more, we round
the number up.
