    • @christmasevel122
      @christmasevel122 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nothing is to be confused in this Decimal.
      Because my child of 10 years can do this clearly within one second.
      And may be you all are of more than 10 years.
      Where a child can do this why you elders can't understand this or do this , just focus on the decimal.
      You can know all things simply.

  • @RoadsideRon
    @RoadsideRon  14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @Joilung ....The number part is just ten, and the last place value here is thousandths. So to read this decimal number as it's written is 10...thousandths. That's the way it's presented here. The last zero in the number is unnecessary so you could drop that last zero to get .01 which is one.....hundredths and is the same value as the first number. The reason for the first number is a matter of accuracy. If you want more accuracy you use thousandths instead of hundredths.

    @Joilung ... No, remember that the zero is there in front of the 10 for a reason, it is taking up the tenths place... So the way it is read is, ten...thousanths.

  • @adtc
    @adtc 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    It's already difficult enough grouping a large number of digits in the numerical part, that it's a boon to simply read the digits out in a rolling fashion after the decimal. This system proposed in your video will only greatly add to the confusion without adding any sort of advantage over simply reading the digits out. Not to mention having to figure out which -th's it is each time and also *not* having it consistent in a list of numbers, for example, .349, .35 and .351

    Hi there Ron ( Cox ), many thanks for all the videos you have placed online, the maths ones are helping me a lot, I am retired now, but I have just taken up the hobby of Electronics and the numbers in the values of parts were getting quite confusing, I have been reading a book called " Engineer's Mini-Notebook" which was written by an American called " Forest M. Mims III " and on page 8 he gives a decimal number system on powers of ten, and he states that 0.000000001 is the Billionth place mark, whereas when you answered "awawawaw awaw" you said his number started with a Trillionth, is this because you use the short system of numbers as opposed to the long system, which both "Forest" and I appear to use. ( I am in the UK ) my Billion comes after your Billion as it were when I count.
    Or am I reading too much into this, and you meant to say Billion, but instead said Trillion. Your videos are reminding me of things I have long forgotten, as I left school over 52 years ago. Many many thanks from across the pond. Bob

    I've always had trouble reading these numbers using the base the 10 factor. I have always read them as "point" such & such, just like it was shown in the video. Reading the numbers as you have described, does it apply to "mm" aswell? This has helped me out so much dude, I now better understand how to read my digital verniers in inches, cheers man :)

  • @RoadsideRon
    @RoadsideRon  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Start at the 4 in the decimal number. It's in the tenths place. The next one is the hundredths place, then keep counting to the last place value which is in the Ten-trillionths place value. The number is 4 trillion, 567 million, 890 thousand, 123. If this is your homework I probably shouldn't have given you the answer to this.

  • @RoadsideRon
    @RoadsideRon  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @honeeyb417 ...First you read the number part, 609 as six hundred nine, just as you would a regular number. Then, the place value is in thousandths, so you read the whole thing as, six hundred nine.....thousandths.
