2. 1. How would life change if we did not
have decimals?
If we didn't not have decimals life wooed not be as fun and we
wouldn't find a book in the book shelf. Decimals are all around the
world in money in book shelf's and in all other figs that have
numbers but the number is not a whole.
3. 2. What is the relationship between
decimals and fractions?
Fractions and decimals are not whole numbers.
For example ½ is the same as 0.5 you can turn a
fraction into a decimal and a decimal into a
fraction like this. 0.89 = 89/100 and 234/1,00 =
0.234.
4. 3. How do we use decimals in the real
world?
We use decimals in money and book shelf's and
all other things to do with numbers that are not
whole. For example if you go and by a cupcake
at a bake sale and it costs 2.50 CHF you have a
decimal.
5. 4. Does using decimals result in
communicating with a greater
accuracy, or are they misleading?
Decimals have a greater accuracy than whole
numbers. For example in book shelf's if you have
a book you want and there are only whole
numbers it is so hard to fine a book you are
looking for.
