🎯 What is a Decimal Number? 🎯
Decimal numbers are numbers that have a dot called a decimal point.
Think of decimals like slices of pizza—each slice is part of the whole pie, and the decimal tells us how many slices we have. Yum! 🍕
Let’s Break It Down!
First comes the whole number, then comes the dot, and after the dot come the parts.
For example:
- 1.5 means 1 whole and 5 parts.
- 2.7 means 2 wholes and 7 parts.
Decimals help us talk about pieces of something, just like sharing candy with friends. 🍬
Example Time!
Look at this picture:
This circle is cut into 10 slices, and 3 slices are colored in. So, we write it as 0.3 because it's 3 out of 10 parts!
