B Convert between decimal notation and fraction notation. C Given a pair of numbers in decimal notation, tell which is larger. D Round decimal notation to the nearest thousandth, hundredth, tenth, one, ten, hundred, or thousand. Key Terms Use the terms listed below to complete each statement in Exercises 1–4. Some of the terms will be used more than once. left larger right smaller zeros decimal places 1. To convert from fraction notation to decimal notation when the denominator is 10, 100, 1000, and so on, a) count the number of ___________________ and b) move the decimal point that number of places to the ___________________ . Leave off the denominator. 2. To convert from decimal notation to fraction notation, a) count the number of ___________________ , b) move the decimal point that many places to the ___________________ , and c) write the answer over a denominator of 1 followed by that number of ___________________. 3. To compare two positive numbers in decimal notation, start at the _________________ and compare corresponding digits. When two digits differ, the number with the ___________________ digit is the larger of the two numbers. 4.

In any circle, a _________________ is a segment with one endpoint on the center and the other endpoint on the circle. GUIDED EXAMPLES AND PRACTICE Objective A Translate key phrases to algebraic expressions. Review this example for Objective A: 1. Translate to an algebraic expression: 5 more than 7 times a number. Let n = the number. 7n + 5 Objective B Practice this exercise: 1. Translate to an algebraic expression: 9 less the product of 6 and a number. Solve applied problems involving decimals. Review this example for Objective B: 2. Erik’s odometer read 45,918.7 mi at the beginning of a trip. It read 47,304.2 mi at the end of the trip. How far did Erik drive? 1. Familiarize. We make a drawing. Let m = the number of miles Erik drove. 45,918.7 mi m 47,304.2 mi Practice this exercise: 2. A car loan of $7791.60 is to be paid off in 24 equal monthly payments. How much is each payment? Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison-Wesley 113 2. Translate. This is a “how much more” situation. Additional First Final + number = reading reading of miles ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ 45,918.7 + m = 47,304.2 3. Solve. We subtract 45,918.7 on both sides of the equation. 45,918.7 + m = 47,304.2 45,918.7 + m − 45,918.7 = 47,304.2 − 45,918.7 m = 1385.5 4. Check. We can check by adding: 45,918.7 + 1385.5 = 47,304.2. The result checks. 5. State. Erik drove 1385.5 mi. ADDITIONAL EXERCISES Objective A Translate key phrases to algebraic expressions.
