- Sometimes the concepts give us fits and are hard to understand. You just need to keep practicing, and then before too long you'll have that "AHA" moment where it will all make sense.
Sometimes I recommend using money to work with decimals. After all, $3.95 and $79.50 are decimals, and if you practice adding money (two items at $3.95), how much will your bill be? If you practice subtracting money (something costs $9.37 and you give a $10.00 bill, how much change will you get)
Keep at it. You can do it!!(88 votes)
- I don't understand the practice for Decimals in expanded form, Can someone help(25 votes)
- Basically in a decimal, there are 4 places,
ones. tenths | hundredths | thousandths
so for example here is a decimal, 4.209
4, is in the ones place
2, is in the tenths place
0, is in the hundredths place
9, is in the thousandths place.
So expanded form is just add the ones, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths place together
For example,
We have our decimal 4.209,
so the expanded form is 4 + 0.2 + 0.00 0.009(40 votes)
