Introduction
When in the world would I ever need to use decimals?
You use decimals everyday.
We have 10 fingers and decimals are based on powers of 10.
There are many reasons that we may need to deal with decimals to accommodate us in this life.
Whether we multiply or divide them, add them or subtract them, and/or just plain convert them,
we can't get away from them.
Money is a big reason, measurement is another, if we convert fractions
to decimals sometimes we can solve problems more easily, and of course, working out math problems are
just a few of the activities that require us to have a knowledge of working with these numbers.
BUT HAVE NO FEAR! Decimals are just numbers that have a
decimal point
in them.
