🔑 Study Cues & Essential Inquiries

1. The Decimal Point Shift Rule

Why does multiplying by $10, 100, 1000$ move the decimal point to the RIGHT, while dividing moves it to the LEFT?

2. "Per Cent" Means "Per 100"

How does the symbol $\%$ act like a built-in division by $100$? Why is $45\% = \frac{45}{100} = 0.45$?

3. The Placeholder Zero Secret

Why is $4.8$ identical to $4.80$ and $4.800$? How do trailing zeros make vertical addition and subtraction effortless?

Welcome to Decimals: Place Value up to Thousandths

A decimal number is a number that contains a decimal point. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent whole numbers, and the digits to the right represent fractional parts of a whole.

📏 Textbook Geometry Box Challenge (Page 83):

"A pencil is $10.4\text{ cm}$ long and an eraser is $6.8\text{ cm}$ long. How much longer is the pencil than the eraser?"
Solution: Difference $= 10.4\text{ cm} - 6.8\text{ cm} = \mathbf{3.6\text{ cm}}$. The pencil is $3.6\text{ cm}$ longer!

Hundreds ($100$) Tens ($10$) Ones ($1$) . Tenths ($\frac{1}{10} = 0.1$) Hundredths ($\frac{1}{100} = 0.01$) Thousandths ($\frac{1}{1000} = 0.001$)
$5$ $3$ $8$ . $4$ $7$ $9$

In the number $538.479$:
• Value of $4 = \frac{4}{10} = 0.4$ ($4$ tenths)
• Value of $7 = \frac{7}{100} = 0.07$ ($7$ hundredths)
• Value of $9 = \frac{9}{1000} = 0.009$ ($9$ thousandths)

Comparing and Ordering Decimals

Step 1: Compare the whole number part first (e.g., in $35.66$ vs $34.56$, $35 > 34$, so $35.66 > 34.56$).

Step 2: If whole numbers are equal, compare tenths (e.g., in $2.58$ vs $2.53$, tenths are equal ($5=5$), so compare hundredths: $8 > 3 \implies \mathbf{2.58 > 2.53}$).

Step 3: Trailing zeros do NOT change the value: $4.8 = 4.80 = 4.800$.

2

Addition & Subtraction of Decimals: The "Line Up the Dots" Rule

To add or subtract decimals, always align the decimal points vertically. Fill in missing places with placeholder zeros so all numbers have the same number of decimal digits.

➕ Addition Example

Add $4.131 + 8.3$:
Step 1: Write $8.3$ as $8.300$ (pad placeholder zeros).
Step 2: Line up dots & add:
$$\begin{array}{r@{\quad}l} 4.131 \\ +\; 8.300 \\ \hline \mathbf{12.431} \end{array}$$

➖ Subtraction Example

Subtract $11.45 - 2.86$:
Step 1: Align vertically.
Step 2: Regroup/borrow across the decimal point:
$$\begin{array}{r@{\quad}l} 11.45 \\ -\; 2.86 \\ \hline \mathbf{8.59} \end{array}$$

🦒 Real-Life Giraffe Height Problem (Textbook Page 88):
An adult giraffe is $5.5\text{ m}$ tall and a baby giraffe is $1.8\text{ m}$ tall.
Difference $= 5.5 - 1.8 = \mathbf{3.7\text{ m}}$.

Multiplication of Decimals: Shifts, Whole Numbers & Decimal-by-Decimal

Rule 1: Multiplying by $10, 100, 1000$ (Move Right)

Move the decimal point to the RIGHT by the number of zeros:
• $\times 10 \implies$ move $1$ place right: $4.256 \times 10 = \mathbf{42.56}$
• $\times 100 \implies$ move $2$ places right: $4.256 \times 100 = \mathbf{425.6}$
• $\times 1000 \implies$ move $3$ places right: $4.256 \times 1000 = \mathbf{4256}$

Rule 2: Multiplying Decimal by Decimal

Step 1: Multiply as whole numbers, ignoring decimal points.

Step 2: Count total decimal places in both factors.

Step 3: Place the decimal point in the product counting that many digits from right to left.

Carpet Area Example (Page 93): A room carpet has length $3.91\text{ m}$ ($2$ d.p.) and width $2.45\text{ m}$ ($2$ d.p.).
Multiply: $391 \times 245 = 95795$.
Total decimal places $= 2 + 2 = 4$.
$$\text{Area} = \mathbf{9.5795\text{ m}^2}$$

Division of Decimals: Shifts, Whole Numbers & Divisors with Decimals

Rule 1: Dividing by $10, 100, 1000$ (Move Left)

Move the decimal point to the LEFT by the number of zeros:
• $\div 10 \implies$ move $1$ place left: $382.4 \div 10 = \mathbf{38.24}$
• $\div 100 \implies$ move $2$ places left: $382.4 \div 100 = \mathbf{3.824}$
• $\div 1000 \implies$ move $3$ places left: $382.4 \div 1000 = \mathbf{0.3824}$

Rule 2: Dividing by a Decimal Divisor

To divide by a decimal, multiply BOTH divisor and dividend by $10, 100,\text{ or } 1000$ to turn the divisor into a whole number!
Example: $67.5 \div 4.5 \implies \frac{67.5 \times 10}{4.5 \times 10} = \frac{675}{45} = \mathbf{15}$.
5

Dual Conversions: Fractions $\leftrightarrow$ Decimals

Fraction to Decimal Divide numerator by denominator using long division:
• $\frac{45}{2} = 45 \div 2 = \mathbf{22.5}$
• $\frac{19}{25} = \frac{19 \times 4}{25 \times 4} = \frac{76}{100} = \mathbf{0.76}$
• $\frac{1}{8} = 1 \div 8 = \mathbf{0.125}$ (Noman's pizza!)
Decimal to Fraction (Simplest Form) Place over $10, 100, 1000$ and simplify:
• $0.45 = \frac{45}{100} = \mathbf{\frac{9}{20}}$
• $37.2 = \frac{372}{10} = \mathbf{\frac{186}{5} = 37\frac{1}{5}}$
• $55.5 = \frac{555}{10} = \mathbf{\frac{111}{2} = 55\frac{1}{2}}$

Rounding Off & Mental Estimation

The Rounding Rule: Look at the digit immediately to the right of the target place:
• If digit is $\ge 5$ ($5, 6, 7, 8, 9$), ROUND UP (add $1$ to target digit).
• If digit is $< 5$ ($0, 1, 2, 3, 4$), ROUND DOWN / STAY SAME.
Nearest Whole Number:
$9.65 \implies 6 \ge 5 \implies \mathbf{10}$
$4.444 \implies 4 < 5 \implies \mathbf{4}$
To 1 d.p. (Nearest Tenth):
$47.125 \implies 2 < 5 \implies \mathbf{47.1}$
$2.150 \implies 5 \ge 5 \implies \mathbf{2.2}$
To 2 d.p. (Nearest Hundredth):
$47.125 \implies 5 \ge 5 \implies \mathbf{47.13}$
$90.267 \implies 7 \ge 5 \implies \mathbf{90.27}$
7

Order of Operations (BODMAS) with Decimals

Always follow the hierarchy: Brackets $\rightarrow$ Of $\rightarrow$ Division $\rightarrow$ Multiplication $\rightarrow$ Addition $\rightarrow$ Subtraction.

Worked Example (Page 107): Simplify $1.1 \times 10 + (4.2 - 2) \times 3.7$
Step 1 (Brackets): $4.2 - 2 = 2.2 \implies 1.1 \times 10 + 2.2 \times 3.7$
Step 2 (Multiplication from left): $1.1 \times 10 = 11$, and $2.2 \times 3.7 = 8.14$
Step 3 (Addition): $11 + 8.14 = \mathbf{19.14}$
8

The Magic of Percentages ($\%$) & Conversions

The word percent comes from Latin per centum, meaning out of one hundred. The symbol $\%$ represents a fraction with denominator $100$.

Conversion Type Rule & Formula Example
Fraction to Percentage Multiply by $100\%$ $\frac{23}{25} \times 100\% = 23 \times 4\% = \mathbf{92\%}$
Percentage to Fraction Write over $100$ and simplify $42\% = \frac{42}{100} = \mathbf{\frac{21}{50}}$
Decimal to Percentage Multiply by $100$ (move dot 2 right) $0.34 \times 100\% = \mathbf{34\%}$
Percentage to Decimal Divide by $100$ (move dot 2 left) $71\% = \frac{71}{100} = \mathbf{0.71}$
Percentage of a Quantity $\frac{\text{Percent}}{100} \times \text{Total}$ $72\%$ of $850 = \frac{72}{100} \times 850 = \mathbf{612}$

(b) Write the number of remaining questions in fraction and decimal form:
Remaining questions $= 20 - 12 = 8\text{ questions}$ (which is $40\%$).
Fraction form: $\frac{8}{20} = \mathbf{\frac{2}{5}}$
Decimal form: $\frac{8}{20} = \mathbf{0.4}$

🎯 Unit 4 Synthesis Summary

Decimals expand our place value system to represent precise parts of a whole (tenths, hundredths, thousandths). Adding and subtracting requires strict vertical alignment of decimal points with placeholder zeros. Multiplications and divisions by powers of ten ($10, 100, 1000$) shift the decimal point right and left, respectively. A percentage expresses a proportion out of $100$ ($x\% = \frac{x}{100} = 0.0x$). Mastering conversions between fractions, decimals, and percentages unlocks practical mathematical fluency for discounts, measurements, tests, and real-world finance.
