RBSE Class 6 Maths Chapter 8 Notes Decimals

→ For knowing parts of a whole unit, we will show it in parts. When a section is divided into 10 equal parts, each part of it shall be \(\frac{1}{10}\) (one-tenth). We can write it as 0.1, this is a decimal representation. This dot (.) is called decimal and used between unit and one tenth unit.

→ Every fraction can be written as decimal number and vice versa every decimal number can be written as fraction.

→ When a unit is divided into 100 equal parts then each part of it is \(\frac{1}{100}\) part. We can write it a6 0.01 in decimal form and read as zero decimal zero one.

→ Every fraction, having denominator 100, can be written as decimal number and vice versa every decimal number can be written as fraction.

→ 82.34 is a decimal number. The number on the left side of the decimal is called whole number and the number on the right side of the decimal is called decimal part or fractional part. We read it as eighty two point three four. Numbers written on the right side of decimal are never read together.

→ As we move from left to right on a place value table, place value of numbers is reduced to \(\frac{1}{10}\).

→ Decimal numbers can also be shown on number, lines.

→ Two decimal numbers can be compared. It begins with the whole number on left side of the decimal. If this is similar then we compare the digits on the peace of one-tenth and again if these are also similar then look at the next digit one hundredth and goes on ........

→ For adding and subtracting decimal number to the whole number, we write same number of zero after it with the symbol of decimal as the other number has the digits after decimal.
