To eliminate the decimals, the first step we can perform is to multiply the decimal by a power of 10. If there are n numbers after the decimal point, then we will multiply the decimal by 10ⁿ.
What is decimal?
In Algebra, a decimal is a type of number with a whole integer and a fractional part separated by a decimal point. The dot that appears between the entire number and the fractions part is the decimal point. 24.589, for example, is a decimal number. The whole number part is 24 and the fractional part is 589. The decimal point is ".".
How to solve this problem?
If an equation contains decimals, then we have to check how many numbers are there in the fractions section. If there are 3 numbers like 24.589, to eliminate decimals we have to multiply 24.589 by 10³ to get a whole number [ Since 24.589×10³ = (24589/1000)× 1000 = 24589].
Therefore, to eliminate the decimals, the first step we can perform is to multiply the decimal by a power of 10. If there are n numbers after the decimal point, then we will multiply the decimal by 10ⁿ.
