Ryan's Math Post

Addend+Addend=Sum
Minuend-Subtrahend=Difference
Factor+Factor=Product
Dividend/Divisor=Quotient


10x1000=10 000 0.1x1000=100
10x100=1 000 0.1x100=10
10x10=100 0.1x10=1
10x1=10 0.1x1=0.1
10x0.1=1 0.1x0.1=0.01
10x0.01=0.1 0.1x0.01=0.001
10x0.001=0.01 0.1x0.001=0.0001
10x0.0001=0.001 0.1x0.0001=0.00001

A good way to multiply hard decimals is:
121 1.21
x13 x1.3
----- ------
363 1.573
1210
-------
1573

A rule for multiplying decimals could be: Add how many decimal places are in each factor to get the decimal place value in the product.

Examples:
1 + 1 = 2
0.2x0.2=0.04
3 + 3 = 6
0.111x0.1111=0.012321
4 + 4 = 8
0.1111x0.1111=0000.01234321

100/10=10 0.001/0.1=0.01
10/10=1 0.01/0.1=0.1
1/10=0.1 0.1/0.1=1
0.1/10=0.01 1/0.1=10
0.01/10=0.001 10/0.1=100
0.001/10=0.0001 100/0.1=1 000

A rule for dividing decimals could be: Subtract how many decimal places are in the dividend and divisor to get the decimal place value in the quotient.

Examples:
2 - 1 = 1
0.02/0.4=0.5
2 - 3 = -1
0.02/0.006=3.33..

  2. Great post Ryan.You really had a lot of information and your post was also well explained. Other than not having colour, you should put the questions right under the next because it looks confusing that way. Also add a link or video and who's doing the next blog.

  3. Nice post Ryan! I like how you showed your work and that you explained it. Next time you could try to space it out a little bit more and add a link and video to help us more with decimals. Also include who is doing the next blog! Other then that, nice job.

  6. Great job Ryan. Your post had both information and an explanation, but I would suggest that you make the letters a little bigger and space it out, but other than that good job.
