Important Topics in Class 6 Maths Chapter 8 

Class 6 Maths Chapter 8 has a number of important which are as given below – 

  • Inter-conversion of fractions and decimals: Fractions can be easily conversted as decimals

12/5

= 24/10

= (20+4) / 10

= 20/10 + 4/10

= 2+0.4

= 2.4

21.2 = 21 + (2/10)

= (210/10) + (2/10)

= (212/10)

= (106/5)

  • A terminating decimal is a decimal number that has a finite number of digits after the decimal point.

Example: 0.95 

  • A recurring decimal is a decimal representation that becomes periodic or the same sequence of digits keeps repeating indefinitely in it.

Example: 37.315555…..

  • Multiplication of Decimals: Let us multiply 2.8 and 7 

2.8 × 7 (There is just one digit to the right of the decimal point in 2.8)
28 × 7 (Ignoring the decimals)
28 × 7 = 196
Now bring the decimal back after one digit from the left and therefore, the answer is 19.6
