Decimals, converting from

Hexadecimal to binary conversion. The conversion of hexadecimal to binary number is very simple just by converting each digit of hexadecimal to its binary equivalent. To make it simpler, let us know the binary equivalent of each decimal number from 0 to 15 as shown in table-1. 

ANY NUMBER CAN be converted from a decimal to a percent or fraction. Roll a number cube three times and mark down the number you rolled each time. Make the result of your first roll the tenths digit of a number, make the result of the second roll the hundredths digit of the number, and make the result of the third roll the thousandths digit of the number. Write that number as a fraction and as a percent. 

Converting from hex to decimal works in reverse. For example, if you have a hexadecimal number like 4AC9, you start the conversion by converting each digit of the number into its 4-digit binary equivalent, like so ... 

Convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit by dividing the value by 1000 by moving the decimal three... 

Converted into decimal logarithms from the authors data for natural logarithms. ... 

If you are converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit, then you divide by moving the decimal three places to the tight. 

The establishment of scientific facts and laws is obviously dependent on accurate observations and measurements. Although measurements can be reported as precisely in one system of measurement as another, there has been an effort since the time of the French Revolution in the late l700s to have all scientists embrace the same simple system. The hope was and is to facilitate communication in science. The metric system, which was born of this effort, has two advantages. First, it is easy to convert from one unit to another, since smaller and larger units for the same physical quantity differ only by multiples of ten. Consequently, to change millimeters to meters, the decimal point need only be moved three places to the left... 

If you still have some doubt about whether you understand howto convert from ordinary decimal form to exponential notation, go back and study the textbook some more until you are confident that you have learned this procedure. If (or when) you are satisfied with your learning, continue on with your studies. 

In the metric system, units that are larger than the basic unit are larger by multiples of 10, that is, 10 times larger, 100 times larger, 1000 times larger, and so on. Similarly, smaller units are 1/10 as large, 1/100 as large, and so forth. This is what makes the metric system so easy to work with. To convert from one unit to another, all you have to do is move the decimal point. 

The prefix milli has a power of 10 of —3. It is therefore smaller than the base unit of liters. Because you are converting from a smaller unit (mL) to a larger unit (L), move the decimal point 3 places to the left 9.844 mL = 0.009844 L... 

What is the binary equivalent of decimal 5 The largest power of 2 which fits 5 is 2 = 4. Therefore there is 1 x 2 in 5 with 1 left over 2 = 2 which is too big and so we write 0x21 finally we see that 1 x 2° = 1. The number 5 is made up from a 1 x 2 and a 1 X 2° = 1 but in binary we must not forget to put 0 x 2 in decimal we may write 304 meaning three hundred and four and if the 0 had been omitted then the number would have been thirty four (34). Thus, the binary equivalent of 5 is 101 and not 11. Other numbers may be converted into binary in an exactly similar fashion. Decimal 39 is ... 

The system of units used in chemistry is the SI system (Systeme International), which is related to the metric system. There are base units for length, mass, etc. and decimal prefixes that modify the base unit. Since most of us do not tend to think in these units, it is important to be able to convert back and forth from the English system to the SI system. These three conversions are useful ones, although knowing the others might allow you to simplify your calculations ... 

If, Convert 6.903 x 10 from scientific notation into decimal form. 

Of course, this is the formula most of us memorized for converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures (notice that 1.8 is just the decimal equivalent of 9/5). One important lesson from this example is that formulas don t just fall from the sky. They are experimentally (empirically) or theoretically derived. Secondly, it is a poor strategy to get through chemistry and physics by trying to just memorize formulas. You will have a much better understanding of the concepts if you focus on how the formulas are derived and the underlying reasons for the relationship between various quantities. 

Octal to decimal conversion. We know that only 8 digits (0 to 7) are used in octal system. It is clear now that digits used in octal system cannot be more than 7. For converting an octal number to decimal, same steps are applicable as from binary system to decimal. 

In these two examples, we used a formula derived from our percent increase formula to find the new values. However, there is an easier way After converting the percent increase to a decimal, add 1 to it and multiply it by the original value. Let s use this method on the previous example. 

To find the interest given the principal, rate, and time, convert the rate from a percent to a decimal, and then multiply the principal by the rate by the time. 

BECAUSE 45% IS less than 100%, you may have realized that it was less than 1, and therefore less than 2.3, without even converting it to a decimal. However, the safest strategy is still to convert numbers to decimals before comparing. By comparing decimals digit by digit from left to right, the process is reduced to simple steps, and you are less likely to make a mistake. 

Calculate the collection efficiency at each average particle size given in the statement of the problem. Applying the equation from step 4 and multiplying the answer by 100 (to convert the efficiency from a decimal fraction to a percent) gives the following results ... 

Exponential notation enables easy reporting of extremely large and extremely small numbers. A number in scientific notation consists of a coefficient times 10 to an integral power, where the coefficient is equal to or greater than 1 but less than 10. Learn how to convert numbers from exponential notation to ordinary decimal values, and vice versa, and also how to use exponential numbers in calculations. Also learn to use effectively an electronic calculator with exponential capability (see Appendix 1). (Section 2.2)...
