LIKE & UNLIKE DECIMALS -

As we all know about like & unlike fraction-

(1) The fraction having same denominators is called like fraction, such as -

        11          9         18          27

     -------, -------, --------, -------

        29         29         29          29

(2) Fraction having different denominators is called unlike fraction, such as -

          7         12         31        27

      -------, -------, -------, -------

         25         75        47         50

Now we will learn about like & unlike decimal -

As we know that -  Number of digits on the right of decimal point is the number of decimal places

➢   The decimals having same number of decimal places are called like decimals.

Examples : 0.055, 1.245, 25.485 are like decimals (all given numbers has three decimal places)

In above given table, all numbers has got two decimal places, so above all decimal numbers are like decimals. 

➢  The decimals having different number of decimal places are called unlike decimals.

Examples : 0.50, 21.4, 5.805 are unlike decimals.

In above given table, all numbers has got different decimal places, so above all decimal numbers are unlike decimals.
