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
