              HundredtHs

              Let  us  take a square paper  and  divide  it  into 100  equal                 1
              parts.  Shade its  one part.  The one shaded  part  represents                100  = 0.01(one-hundredth)

                                    1 
              one-hundredth        100  . It is represented in decimal form as
                                        
                                  
              0.01.

              This is read as zero point zero one.
              Look at some more hundredths.














              Total parts = 100, Shaded parts = 24                   Total parts = 100, Shaded parts = 55

              Fraction of shaded parts =         24                  Fraction of shaded parts =         55
                                                100                                                    100
              Decimal  of shaded  parts  = 0.24  (zero               Decimal  of shaded  parts  = 0.55  (zero
              point two four)                                        point five five)


              Similarly,    5    = 0.05,   22    = 0.22,    93   = 0.93, etc.
                          100              100             100
              decimals Greater than 1


              Decimals which have 0 as the whole number
              part are less than 1.

              Now, look at the figures shown alongside.                            1               4   = 0.4
              10 tenths represent 1 and 4 tenths represent 0.4.                                    10
                                                                           4        4
              Combining 1 whole and 0.4 fractional part; 1 +              10  = 1  10 ,
              we get 1.4, that is, 1 whole and 4 tenths

              This is read as one point four. 1.4 is greater than 1.
              Decimals such

              as 1.05, 1.25,
              2.68, 72.04                                                                         37
                                                                                                         .
              etc. are greater                                                                = 2 100  = 237
              than 1.

                                             1        +         1          +        37
                                                                                   100
