Understanding the point
Example 5
Where would you place the decimal point in this weather report?
The day was fine and warm, with a maximum temperature of 245˚C.
Solution
Since a warm day has a temperature in the mid-twenties, we would place the decimal point
after the 4 so it reads 24.5˚C.
Exercise 7-02
Read the following story carefully. List the numbers appearing in parts a to q and place a
Example 5
decimal point in each so that the story makes sense.
a Maria filled her Holden car, which was nearly empty, with 434 litres of petrol
b at 849 cents per litre
c and handed the attendant a $5000 note.
d After she received her change of $1315
e she picked up her friend Fred, a tall man of 188 metres in height.
