What are Decimals?

• A decimal is a way of writing a number that is not a whole number. 

•  Decimal numbers are in between two consecutive whole  numbers. For example,  $3,7$   is in between the numbers  $3$   and  $4$  . It is more than  $3$  , but less than  $4$ .
  

• Decimals are like fractions. They are in between whole numbers.

• Between two whole numbers is an infinite number of decimals and also fractions.
