<h3><a id="zero"></a>Putting In Zeros</h3>
|
||
<p>Why can we put in extra zeros?</p>
|
||
<p>A zero is really saying "there is no value at this decimal place".</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>In a number like 10, the zero is saying "no ones"</li>
|
||
<li>In a number like 2.50 the zero is saying "no hundredths"</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>So it is safe to take a number like 2.5 and make it 2.50 or 2.500 etc</p>
|
||
<p>But DON'T take 2.5 and make it 20.5, that is plain wrong.</p>
