EXAMPLE3: Each of the numbers 5 .8, 19.63, 7.295, 0.068, etc., is a decimal. c. Forty-five-thousandths
A decimal has two parts, namely, (1) whole-number part and (ii) decimal part. d. Eight and eight thousandth
These parts are separated by a dot(.), called the decimal point. e. Two hundred twenty-two and two hunderdth
The part on the left side of the decimal point ts the whole-number part and that on the
rightside of the decimal point ts the decimal part. 3. Write the following in decimal form.
