Decimals in our world!

We learned today that decimals are a way to show less that one whole unit. For example, you can show a part of a dollar using decimals.  Example:  $3.50

Can you think of any places other than money where decimals are used in our everyday life?

  2. I agree Ava, you can use them in money like $2.68 fractions, and using thermometers. I could go on and on and on. I sort of used Ava's things because they are so good! she took the words out of my typing! I also use decimals in my daily life.

  3. I use decimals when I am using money. For a example: a few days ago my grandpa asked me a money question I used decimals and I did not even know. You can use decimals for fractions to.

  6. Another way to use decimals is for our temperature. Like... our normal temperature is 98.6 degrees. Also, you can use decimals for measuring distance. For example, a marathon is 26.2 miles. Decimals are also used for weighing people and objects. Decimals are helpful. They make our life easier. I LOVE DECIMALS!
