DECIMAL FRACTIONS.

DEFINITIONS.

1. A Decimal Fraction denotes one or more of the decimal divisions of a unit.

2. Decimal Fractions are usually called decimals (Latin, decem, "ten").

3. A Pure Decimal consists of decimal figures only, as .234.

4. A Mixed Decimal consists of an integer and a decimal, as 23.005.

5. A Complex Decimal has a common fraction on the right of the decimal, as .06.

NOTATION AND NUMERATION.

1. By placing a mark (), called the decimal point, after units of the first order, the numeration and notation table is extended to express parts of a unit on the decimal scale.

2. The relation of decimals and integers to each other is clearly shown by the following

By examining this table we see that:
Tenths are expressed by one figure.
Hundredths are expressed by two figures.
Thousandths are expressed by three figures.
Ten thousandths are expressed by four figures.
Hundred thousandths are expressed by five figures.
Millionths are expressed by six figures.

3. The decimal point is a separatrix, not a period; it is read "and."

Remember that the name of the 6th decimal order is Millionths, and give orally the names of the following orders: 6th order, 5th order, 4th order, 3d order, 2d order, 1st order, 3d order, 5th order, 4th order, 6th order, 1st order, 5th order, 2d order, 4th order, 3d order, 6th order, 5th order, 4th order, 3d order, 2d order, 1st order, 6th order.

In what decimal place do you find : Millionths? Thousandths? Tenths? Hundredths? Ten-thousandths? HunTen-millionths? Hundredths? Mil

dred-thousandths?

lionths? Thousandths?

4. Read the following: 1.2, 1.03, 1.004, 1.0005, 1.00006, 1.000007, 2.008, 3.09, 4.0001, 5.000002, 6.00003, 7.0004, 8.9, 9.10.

PRINCIPLES.

1. Decimals and integers are subject to the same law of local value.

2. Each cipher inserted between the decimal point and the first figure of a decimal diminishes the value of the decimal ten-fold.

3. Annexing ciphers to a decimal does not alter its value.

.05.050, for 0 thousandths add nothing to 5 hundredths.

4. The denominator of a decimal, when expressed, is 1 with as many ciphers annexed as there are orders, or places, in the decimal.

Read 7.039.

ANALYSIS.

7 is an integer representing 7 units, and is read " seven. The decimal point is read “and ” O denotes the absence of tenths, and is not read. 3 hundredths + 9 thousandths is read "39 thousandths." Hence 7.039 is read 7 and 39 thousandths "

RULE.

Read the decimal as an integral number, and add the decimal name of the right-hand figure.

13 thousandths one hundredth + 3 thousandths. O tenths are given. As the number is a pure decimal, the expression of it must begin with the decimal point. Hence 13 thousandths expressed decimally is .013.

RULE.

Write the number as an integer, and give the right-hand figure the place indicated by the decimal name of the number.

3. Express decimally :

1. Seven tenths.

Twelve hundredths.

2. Nine tenths, Seventeen hundredths.
