Decimals – Place Value – Decimal charts – Class 6 Maths
Decimals – There are measurements which are not in whole numbers like 4.8, 6.94, 56.3, etc are called Decimal numbers or decimals.
Representing decimals on a number line
Represent 3.5 on a number line.
We know that 3.5 is more than 3 and less than 4. Now divide the unit length of 3 and 4 into ten parts and mark the 5th part as shown in the figure below. Now you can represent 3.5 on a number line.
Place Value
Decimal contains two parts whole numbers and decimals. The decimal point is a point that separates both parts. The numbers of places in decimal parts give a number of decimal places.
10 ones = 1 ten
10 tens= 1 hundred
10 hundred= 1 thousand
Place value of 4 at thousands place = 4 *1000= 4000
Place value of 4 at hundreds place = 4 *100= 400
Place value of4 at tens place = 4 *10= 40
Place value of4 at one place = 4 *1= 4
As in the diagram when we move to the right number, the place value of a digit become for each place.
Place value of 4 at tenth place = 4 *= = 0.4
