Key concepts

- 1
Decimal places extend the base 10 number system to represent amounts in-between whole amounts by counting parts or fractions of things.
- 2
The decimal point separates the number places used for counting whole values from the number places used to count fractional values.
- 3
Each number place to the right of the decimal counts amounts that are ten times smaller than the previous place; the first two are the tenths place and the hundredths place.
