Decimal numbers contain decimal points, on the left of which are units and on the right tenths, hundredths and thousandths. We use decimal numbers as an alternative to fractions to describe numbers that are smaller than a unit. For example, the fraction 18 could also be written as 0.125. Here we have 1 tenth, 2 hundredths and 5 thousandths. Decimal numbers make addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions much easier. For this reason we have decimal measurements like meters and kilos which all use tenths, hundredths and thousandths.
