Examples with solutions for Decimal Fractions' Meaning: Decomposition of the decimal structure

Exercise #1

Write the number shown in the chart below as a decimal:

100010010133

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we follow these steps:

  • Identify the number and its position from the given chart.
  • In the 'ones' place, there is a '3'.
  • In the 'tenths' place, we also have a '3'.
  • Combine these digits respecting their place values to form a decimal.

Now, assembling this using place values:
- The '3' in the 'ones' place contributes a value of 33.
- The '3' in the 'tenths' place contributes a value of 0.30.3.

To create the complete number, add these place values:

3+0.3=3.33 + 0.3 = 3.3

Therefore, the solution to the problem, written as a decimal, is 3.33.3.

Answer

3.3

Exercise #2

Write the number shown in the chart below as a decimal:

10001001011245

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's identify each digit's position in the given chart:

  • The columns of the chart correspond to the place values of the number, listed as thousands (1000), hundreds (100), tens (10), ones (1), tenths (0.1), and hundredths (0.01).

  • According to the chart, the digits are organized as follows:

    • In the hundreds column (100): the digit is 44.

    • In the tens column (10): the digit is 55.

    • In the ones column (1): the digit is 11.

    • In the tenths column (0.1): no digit or zero is in this column, which means 00.

    • In the hundredths column (0.01): the digit is 22.

  • Thus, arranging these digits in their respective place values, the number is 451.02451.02.

Therefore, the number represented as a decimal is 451.02451.02.

Answer

451.02

Exercise #3

Write the number shown in the chart below as a decimal:

100010010153

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we must correctly interpret the chart and combine the digits into a complete decimal number based on their place values:

  • The number in the thousands place is 3, so it represents 3×1000=3000 3 \times 1000 = 3000 .
  • There are no numbers explicitly shown in the hundreds, tens, and ones places, which are assumed as zeros, hence their contribution is zero.
  • The digit after the decimal has a five in the hundredths place. Therefore, it represents 5×0.01=0.05 5 \times 0.01 = 0.05 .

To obtain the final number, we sum the contributions of each place value:

  • The overall contribution from the thousands place is 3000.
  • The decimal portion contributed by the hundredths place is 0.05.

Adding these up gives:

3000+0.05=3000.05 3000 + 0.05 = 3000.05

Thus, the number represented by the chart in decimal form is 3000.05 \textbf{3000.05} .

Answer

3000.05

Exercise #4

Identify which decimal place value chart represents the number 106.8?

Step-by-Step Solution

To correctly solve the problem, we will break down the number 106.8 according to its decimal place values.

  • The number 1 is in the hundreds place, representing 100.
  • The number 0 is in the tens place, representing 0.
  • The number 6 is in the ones place, representing 6.
  • The number 8 is in the tenths place, representing 0.8.

Given this breakdown, we look to match the digits on the place value chart

In the correct chart:

  • The chart will have a '1' under the '100' column, indicating one hundred.
  • The chart will have a '0' under the '10' column, indicating no tens.
  • The chart will have a '6' under the '1' column, indicating six ones.
  • The chart will have an '8' under the '0.1' column, showing eight-tenths.

Upon analyzing the available choices, the correct decimal place value chart that represents the number 106.8 is:

The choice with 1 under '100', 0 under '10', 6 under '1', and 8 under '0.1' correctly represents the number 106.8 as a decimal. According to the given choices, this is Choice 2.

Answer

1000100101681

Exercise #5

Identify which decimal place value chart represents the number 850.07?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of identifying which chart corresponds to the number 850.07850.07, we need to break down the number into its place values:

  • The digit 88 is placed in the hundreds column, representing 800800.
  • The digit 55 is in the tens column, representing 5050.
  • The digit 00 is in the ones column, contributing 00 to the total.
  • To the right of the decimal point, the digit 00 is in the tenths place, contributing 0.00.0.
  • The digit 77 is in the hundredths position, contributing 0.070.07.

Thus, the number 850.07850.07 is represented correctly the following way in place value:

  • Hundreds: 88
  • Tens: 55
  • Units: 00
  • Decimal part: Hundredths 77

From the given choices of place value charts, the correct chart will display the following configuration:

  • The '100' column showing 88
  • The '10' column showing 55
  • The '1' column showing 00
  • The '0.01' column showing 77

Upon comparing all available options, the correct chart is Option 2.

Therefore, the correct decimal place value chart that represents the number 850.07850.07 is: Option 2.

Exercise #6

Choose the correct decomposition of the number 300.6.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The task is to decompose 300.6 into its constituent parts based on its decimal structure.

The number 300.6 consists of:

  • 300, which is the whole number (integer) part.
  • 0.6, which is the fractional (decimal) part.

To decompose 300.6 correctly, we must express it as the sum of these two components:

300.6=300+0.6 300.6 = 300 + 0.6

Now, let's evaluate the provided answer choices:

  • Choice 1: 300+0.6 300 + 0.6 - This correctly represents the decomposition.
  • Choice 2: 300+6 300 + 6 - This incorrectly assumes 0.6 is just 6.
  • Choice 3: 30+306 30 + 306 - This misrepresents both the integer and the decimal parts.
  • Choice 4: 30+0.6 30 + 0.6 - This only partially decomposes the integer incorrectly.

Therefore, the correct decomposition of 300.6 is choice 1: 300+0.6 300 + 0.6 .

Answer

300+0.6 300+0.6

Exercise #7

Choose the correct decomposition of the number 57.5.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will decompose the number 57.5 by identifying the place value of each digit:

  • First, note that the '5' in 57.5 is in the tens place, representing 5×10=50 5 \times 10 = 50 .
  • The '7' is in the ones place, contributing 7×1=7 7 \times 1 = 7 .
  • The '.5' is in the tenths place, which corresponds to 0.5 0.5 .

By adding these components together, we have:

50+7+0.5 50 + 7 + 0.5 .

Thus, the decomposition of 57.5 is 50+7+0.5 50+7+0.5 .

Answer

50+7+0.5 50+7+0.5
