5.2 Rounding Decimals Objectives 1. Learn the rules for rounding decimals. 2. Round decimals to any given place. 3. Round money amounts to the nearest cent or nearest dollar. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Slide

Parallel Example 1 Rounding a Decimal Number Round to the nearest thousandth. Step 1 Draw a “cut off “ line after the thousandths place. Look only at the 6. Ignore the 7. Thousandths Step 2 Look only at the first digit you are cutting off. Ignore the other digits you are cutting off. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 1 continued Rounding a Decimal Number Round to the nearest thousandth. Step 3 If the first digit you are cutting off is 5 or more, round up the part of the number you are keeping. First digit cut is more than 5, so round up by adding 1 thousandth to the part you are keeping. So, rounded to the nearest thousandth is We can write ≈ Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 2 Rounding Decimals to Different Places Round to the nearest hundredth. Step 1 You are cutting off the 1 and 2. they will be dropped. Hundredths Look only at the 1. Step 2 Step 3 The first digit is 4 or less, so the part you are keeping stays the same. rounded to the nearest hundredth is We can write ≈ 0.89 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

In many everyday situations, such as shopping in a store, money amounts are rounded to the nearest cent. There are 100 cents in a dollar. Each cent is of a dollar. Another way of writing is So rounding to the nearest cent is the same as rounding to the nearest hundredth of a dollar. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 3 Rounding to the Nearest Cent How much money will you pay in each shopping situation? Round each money amount to the nearest cent. a. $ (Is it closer to $7.62 or to $7.63?) First digit cut is 4 or less, so the part you are keeping stays the same. $ You pay $7.62. b. $3.649 (Is it closer to $3.64 or to $3.65?) $ $3.64 First digit cut is 5 or more, so you round up. + $0.01 $3.65 You pay. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 4 Rounding to the Nearest Dollar Round to the nearest dollar. a. $84.59 (Is it closer to $84 or to $85?) First digit cut is 5 or more, so you round up. $84 + 1 $85 $84. 59 So $84.59 rounded to the nearest dollar is $85. b. $ (Is it closer to $599 or $600?) So $ rounded to the nearest dollar is $600. $599 $ + 1 $600 First digit cut is 5 or more, so you round up. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

5.6 Dividing Decimals Objectives 1. Divide a decimal by a whole number. 2. Divide a number by a decimal. 3. Estimate the answer when dividing decimals. 4. Use the order of operations with decimals. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

There are two kinds of decimal division problems: those in which a decimal is divided by a whole number, and those in which a number is divided by a decimal. Recall the parts of a division problem. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 1 Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers Find each quotient. Check the quotients by multiplying. a by 2 Divisor Dividend Rewrite the division problem. Step 1 Write the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend. . Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 1 continued Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers Step 2 Divide as if the numbers were whole numbers. 9.23 9.23 × 18.46 Matches, so 9.23 is correct. Check by multiplying the quotient times the divisor. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 1 continued Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers b. Write the decimal point in the quotient above the decimal point in the dividend. Then divide as if the numbers were whole numbers. Dividend Divisor 2 4 . 6 24.6 × 172.2 14 Matches 32 28 42 42 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 2 Writing Extra Zeros to Complete a Division Divide 7.5 by 8. Check the quotient by multiplying. Keep dividing until the remainder is 0, or until the digits in the quotient begin to repeat in a pattern. 0.9 3 7 5 0.9375 × 7.5000 72 30 24 60 Matches dividend, so is correct. 56 40 40 Stop dividing when the remainder is 0. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 3 Rounding a Decimal Quotient Divide 5.8 by 6. Round the quotient to the nearest thousandth. Write extra zeros in the dividend so you can continue dividing. 0.9 6 6 6 54 Notice that the digit 6 in the answer is repeating. It will continue to do so. The remainder will never be 0. 40 36 40 36 40 36 4 Remainder is still not 0. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 3 continued Rounding a Decimal Quotient There are two ways to show that the answer is a repeating decimal. You can write three dots after the answer, or you can write a bar above the digits that repeat. 0.9666… or When repeating decimals occur, round the quotient to the directions in the problem. In this problem, to round to the thousandths, divide out one more place, to the ten-thousandths. rounds to 0.967 Check: (0.967)(6) = 5.802 Not exact because was rounded Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Slide

Parallel Example 4 Dividing by a Decimal Move the decimal point in the divisor three places to the right so becomes the whole number 4. Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places, write in an extra zero. 9210. Divide as usual. Moving the decimal point three places to the right is like multiplying by 1000.

Slide

Parallel Example 1 Writing Fractions or Mixed Numbers as Decimals a. Write 3/8 as a decimal. 3/8 means 3 ÷ 8. Write it as The decimal point in the dividend is on the right side of 3. Write extra zeros in the dividend so you can continue dividing until the remainder is 0. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 1 Writing Fractions or Mixed Numbers as Decimals b. Write as a decimal. One method is to divide 1 by 4 to get 0.25 for the fraction part. Then add the whole number part. A second method is to write the mixed number as an improper fraction and then divide numerator by denominator. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 2 Writing a Fraction as a Decimal with Rounding Write as a decimal and round to the nearest thousandth. Written as a repeating decimal, Rounded to the nearest thousandth, Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

You can use a number line to compare fractions and decimals. The number line below shows the space between 0 and 1. The locations of commonly used fractions are marked, along with their decimal equivalents. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

This number line shows the locations of some commonly used fractions between 0 and 1 that are equivalent to repeating decimals. The decimal equivalents use a bar above repeating digits. Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Slide

Parallel Example 3 Using a Number Line to Compare Numbers Use the number lines to decide whether to write >, < or = in the blank between each pair of numbers. a ____ 0.375 is to the right of , use the > symbol. 0.375 is greater than > 0.375 ____ Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
