Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure my way is going to be any quicker or better. Let's take an example.

Suppose you start with 456

Put a decimal at the end of the 6.   You get 456.

Shift the decimal to the left one place           45.6

Divide by 2

22.8 (done mentally)

Note: dividing by 2 is easier than dividing by 5. Or multiplying by 5 for that matter.

Check the result.

456 * 5/100 =2280 / 100.

Shift a decimal 2 places to the left.

22.80 which agrees with your result.

Just take 10% of the number and divide that by 2. Taking 10% of a number is easy, for example, 10% of 100 is 10, 10% of 45 is 4.5 - you simply move the decimal point over 1. Once you take the 10% just divide it by two and you get 5%.

What is the underlined sentence mean can someone explain
suter [353]

Step-by-step explanation:

1235

Now when we talk about place values we have ones tens hundreds thousands ten thousands and so on. So when you look at no.1 its place value is ones because 1 is the first value.

So 2 is in tens.

Now the difference of tens and hundreds is tens follows the 2 place value and hundreds the next.
