Equivalent, Like and Unlike Decimals

In Class IV, we have learnt that the decimals representing the same value

are called equivalent decimals.

5 1 50 1 500 1
Example: 0.5 = = , 0.50 = = and 0.500 = = .
10 2 100 2 1000 2

So, 0.5, 0.50 and 0.500 are equivalent decimals.

The decimals having an equal number of decimal places are called like

decimals.

Examples: 62.3, 539.2, 0.8 (All have 1 decimal place)

8.53, 0.01, 225.18 (All have 2 decimal places)

123.231, 8.359, 0.009 (All have 3 decimal places)

The decimals with different numbers of decimal places are called unlike
decimals.

Examples: 2.3, 6.258, 19.02 Only decimal part
↓ ↓ ↓ determines the group of like

1 place 3 places 2 places and unlike decimals.
