FAQs on Decimals (Exercise 7.2) RD Sharma Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 6

1. What are decimals?
Ans. Decimals are a way to represent fractions or parts of a whole. They are numbers that include a decimal point, separating the whole number part from the fractional part. For example, 0.5, 1.25, and 3.75 are all decimals.
2. How do you convert a decimal into a fraction?
Ans. To convert a decimal into a fraction, we count the number of decimal places and write the decimal as the numerator over a denominator of 10, 100, 1000, or any power of 10 depending on the number of decimal places. For example, 0.5 can be written as 5/10, which simplifies to 1/2.
3. How do you compare decimals?
Ans. To compare decimals, start by comparing the whole number parts. If they are the same, compare the tenths, then the hundredths, and so on. If the digits differ in any place, the decimal with the greater digit in that place is greater. For example, 0.35 is greater than 0.25 because 3 is greater than 2 in the tenths place.
4. How do you add and subtract decimals?
Ans. To add or subtract decimals, line up the decimal points and perform the operation as you would with whole numbers. Make sure to align the digits properly and fill in any missing places with zeros. For example, to add 1.25 and 0.75, we add the tenths, hundredths, and whole numbers separately to get 2.
5. How do you multiply decimals?
Ans. To multiply decimals, ignore the decimal point and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. Count the total number of decimal places in both numbers and place the decimal point in the product by counting from the right, starting with zero. For example, to multiply 0.5 and 0.2, we get 0.10 as the product, which simplifies to 0.1.
