Since decimal fractions are common, a scale from 0 to 100 is often used to remove the decimal point.
32.
For example, the decimal fraction " 0.1 " is equivalent to an infinitely repeating binary fraction : 0.000110011 . ..
33.
The concept of decimal fractions is closely linked with decimal place-value notation; the two seem to have developed in tandem.
34.
The smallest value used may also have a decimal fraction, as in " P0.5Y " to indicate half a year.
35.
If is chosen to be a power of ten, each term in the right sum becomes a finite decimal fraction.
36.
A mixed format with decimal fractions is also sometimes used, e . g . 3?5.722 = 3 + degrees.
37.
Also, most fractional measurements in science are reported as decimal fractions, as opposed to fractions with any other system of denominators.
38.
:Actually it " is " the result of a rounding error, due to conversion between decimal fractions and floating-point binary numbers.
39.
Decimal fractions have terminating decimal representations and other fractions have repeating decimal representations, whereas irrational numbers have infinite non-repeating decimal representations.
40.
If the ratio consists of only two values, it can be represented as a fraction, in particular as a decimal fraction.
