 DECIMALS  2. Write the following in the decimal form.
                a.     Fifteen-hundredths
 DECIMALS The numbers expressed in decimal form are called decimal numbers or simply decimals.  b.  Seven-tenths
 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.


 EXAMPLE 4:    In 68.49, we have , whole-number part= 68 and decimal part= .49.  (a)  3  (b)  11  (c)  2036  (d)  14703  (e)  500005
