Put commas in the number to separate the periods
Practice this chapterPut commas in the number to separate the periods Draw 3 blanks to indicate the number of places needed in each period.
Name the number in each period and place the digits in the correct place value position Locate the given place value and mark it with an arrow.
absolute value — The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line. The absolute value of a number n is written as | n |. denominator — The denominator is the value on the bottom part of the fraction that indicates the number of equal parts into which the whole has been divided. fraction — A fraction is written a b , where b ≠ 0 a is the numerator and b is the denominator. A fraction represents parts of a whole. The denominator b is the number of equal parts the…. irrational number — An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as the ratio of two integers. Its decimal form does not stop and does not repeat.
Be able to name a Whole Number in Words Step 1. Start at the left and name the number in each period, followed by the period name; write a Whole Number Using Digits Step 1. Identify the words that indicate periods. (Remember the ones period is never named.); find the Prime Factorization of a Composite Number Step 1. Find two factors whose product is the given number, and use these numbers to create two branches.

What does “absolute value” mean in Foundations?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for absolute value.
- 2The book says: The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line. The absolute value of a number n is written as | n |.
- 3Do not use the meaning of denominator. That term means The denominator is the value on the bottom part of the fraction that indicates the number of equal parts into which the whole has been divided.
Result: The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line. The absolute value of a number n is written as | n |
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for absolute value.
Do not swap absolute value and denominator. absolute value means The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line. The absolute value of a number n is written as | n |. denominator means The denominator is the value on the bottom part of the fraction that indicates the number of equal parts into which the whole has been divided.
