How to properly read a decimal number

[@tandrace8622]

It's no wonder I wasn't an A student in math(lol), the difference is in the teaching method. That was super fun n easy! A big shout out to Ron for sharing.

[@alg1717]

Ron in your 6 minute video you've cleared up years of confusion on my part, Thanks much bud

[@MoonlightNothing]

Al G Right? Amen! About 43 years!

[@brendafredericks7773]

Yesss! This makes so much sense to me now!!

[@taetae7996]

[@dennishowell6494]

Thank you Ron you took something so hard for me to figure out and made it very easy to understand I think it was just having a motorcycle on there that really helped me

[@kylelove927]

Total badass! Riding a motorcycle while doing decimals! My hero!

[@davidhershberger7899]

I am taking some machining classes right now, and this was a great refresher on decimal places. Thank you for uploading this video.

[@WhiskeyThrottleWilliam]

Irving really helped me because i too am a confused biker and I found him relatable.

[@SweetSourPickle]

I wish I had a teacher like this while I was growing up.

[@Maryamoffett]

I love this! Thank you for being a fun teacher! ❤

[@sekonic1973]

Wow your video is the first one I’ve seen that actually makes sense…! Thank you so much.

[@kimcarthew1703]

A great fun video, l finally learned😊 decimal places at at sixty years old. thanks kim👏

[@cialeapref3730]

Thank you I've been looking all over for this

[@MooMooMath]

Helpful video. I think elementary students would enjoy this.

[@felisa1978]

I definitely did

[@Trident_Euclid]

Elementary? I'm 25 and just understood this 😅. We use metric system here. So inches can be confusing.

[@christmasevel122]

Nothing is to be confused in this Decimal. Because my child of 10 years can do this clearly within one second. And may be you all are of more than 10 years. Where a child can do this why you elders can't understand this or do this , just focus on the decimal. You can know all things simply.

[@laurynmiller1411]

This is adorable and effective!! I love your creativity and choice of adding characters!! Great job!

[@RoadsideRon]

I'm glad you like it

[@Joe-mr5ub]

Thank you for this fast and straight to the point math lesson...

[@childraisingtips]

Thank you for taking the time and sharing this video.

[@MiddletownClown]

Hillarious! I've been out of school since 1993 and after recently being laid-off, i'm preparing to go back to school. After checking out some of the Practice exams online for college placement test, I realized I need some serious refreshing. Your video was entertainingly perfect for what I need. Thanks!!!

[@motimenow]

This is a great video of clear understanding. I have been working with measurements nowadays using both decimals and millimeters. It's difficult at first like learning a new language. You helped much, thank you.

[@nicardosmith8053]

Thanks much for an entertaining way of introducing knowledge Mr Cox. (:

[@COMB0RICO]

Very good! I love the cadence of the video, and that you treated Bruno and Irving equally. I'll have to see if you teach Calculus. Thanks from Texas. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you.

[@nvr2late2learm]

Just found your video and I think this is great stuff and I would love to incorporate it in a study group for children after school as a resource. Thank you so much for sharing. Please add more math videos that work for children 5th thru 8th grade.

[@sowitsky]

You don't know how much this helped me.. bless your heart

[@heretohear8662]

Just what I was after! Thank you!

[@2002drumsonly]

Well done! Finally a precise and easy to understand video without confusion along with entertainment value as an extra bonus.

[@RoadsideRon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RK-lw7jq]

I now understand why I never understood mathematics. It’s because I didn’t have a teacher like you sir!!! Hats off

[@eecervantes83]

This video help with reading and understanding calipers

[@icemizul]

This helped crack open a section of my brain that's been closed for over 30 years! Thank you for this video.

[@lucilarodriguez4694]

Excellent video!!!! Thanks so much!!!!

[@SherlockJo]

This is great! Thank you for simplifying how to read deciamls! Yeah!

[@yourlocalbot8270]

Thank you made so much more sense now

[@markburg3323]

Great video! needed a good explanation . THANK YOU

[@rashidselemani475]

You are the best Sir!

[@kcharly]

thank you so much...everything is clear now!!

[@hesdrasjerume5965]

Great Lesson. Thank you!

[@randmayfield5695]

Thanks Ron! A well taught review for me.

[@RoadsideRon]

Thanks for watching!

[@RoadsideRon]

@Joilung ....The number part is just ten, and the last place value here is thousandths. So to read this decimal number as it's written is 10...thousandths. That's the way it's presented here. The last zero in the number is unnecessary so you could drop that last zero to get .01 which is one.....hundredths and is the same value as the first number. The reason for the first number is a matter of accuracy. If you want more accuracy you use thousandths instead of hundredths.

[@robbiedw1495]

Very helpful video. Thank you!

[@twiztid83222]

Thanks so much. This will help me alot in my interview

[@DanielRodriguez-lp6gr]

how come is he teaching a motorbiker while he is riding his bike? taht`s on whole nother level of mastery.

[@thumper09ify]

this was very helpful Appreciate your contribution to teaching math thanks

[@donnaleflore94]

Where is the rest of the explanation of the points you mentioned in beginning? Thank you so much.

[@AlesanaxD1]

Wow this is awesome! Though i still need a little practice to memorize ! You helped a lot ! I’m studying for the machining technology and i was super lost with the thousandths of an inch ! But thanks to this video is helped a lot !

[@anniesworld4169]

Thanks, this video is simple and straight forward.

[@reddragon334]

Wow!!! Thanks so much I always struggled in class with decimals until I found this! Thank you! I can do my homework easily now! :-)

[@aanglero]

Thank you sir. I needed that lesson.

[@JudahR238]

understanding it a bit better thanks!

[@robertlewisvazquez]

the video is awesome and your teaching is great!!!!!!!

[@anamurray7155]

i love this teacher i learned and had fun

[@Samy-hh1wn]

Finally I got it :) Thanks a million

[@adtc]

It's already difficult enough grouping a large number of digits in the numerical part, that it's a boon to simply read the digits out in a rolling fashion after the decimal. This system proposed in your video will only greatly add to the confusion without adding any sort of advantage over simply reading the digits out. Not to mention having to figure out which -th's it is each time and also *not* having it consistent in a list of numbers, for example, .349, .35 and .351

[@brentneahring2797]

super helpful!

[@DMPWORLD]

loved it

[@KNOTHEAD765]

U make it sound soooooo easy

[@Vank508]

Yep I had it right... just had to make sure lol good video

[@chetrisaw6301]

great instruction!

[@devilpuppy1969]

@Joilung ... No, remember that the zero is there in front of the 10 for a reason, it is taking up the tenths place... So the way it is read is, ten...thousanths.

[@adeosineye1499]

a BIG help to me tank u

[@plushiiebby]

Thank you !!!!!

[@pamilyakonagintopamilya4944]

Wow so great

[@royhines4301]

Excellent very nice.

[@nemesi1177]

thanks , i got it !!

[@OlympusHeavyCavalry]

I've always had trouble reading these numbers using the base the 10 factor. I have always read them as "point" such & such, just like it was shown in the video. Reading the numbers as you have described, does it apply to "mm" aswell? This has helped me out so much dude, I now better understand how to read my digital verniers in inches, cheers man :)

[@binness]

Hi there Ron ( Cox ), many thanks for all the videos you have placed online, the maths ones are helping me a lot, I am retired now, but I have just taken up the hobby of Electronics and the numbers in the values of parts were getting quite confusing, I have been reading a book called " Engineer's Mini-Notebook" which was written by an American called " Forest M. Mims III " and on page 8 he gives a decimal number system on powers of ten, and he states that 0.000000001 is the Billionth place mark, whereas when you answered "awawawaw awaw" you said his number started with a Trillionth, is this because you use the short system of numbers as opposed to the long system, which both "Forest" and I appear to use. ( I am in the UK ) my Billion comes after your Billion as it were when I count. Or am I reading too much into this, and you meant to say Billion, but instead said Trillion. Your videos are reminding me of things I have long forgotten, as I left school over 52 years ago. Many many thanks from across the pond. Bob

[@tusky123456]

i have a math test tomroow i didnt under this part no wi do! thanks so much!

[@narmeenosmanalay4479]

Thank you sooo much

[@esqueue]

I remembered everything but forgot exactly how I read it back in school.

[@cintiasilva8116]

Wow! What a great way to teach 👏 thank you very much

[@Slick-Wit-it]

You're pretty to the ten-thousandths 😗😉🙃

[@ysj7899]

You're not "your"

[@Bh0liday]

I think i would have liked math if i had this dude teaching me! lol

[@norhan7074]

adorable!!!!!

Thanks this helped me

[@RoadsideRon]

Glad it helped

[@crucitalopez5165]

You made this so easy for me, now I have to learn how to read blueprints can you help?

[@slow_carsgarage7422]

Why do machine shops read decimals different? .1 is one tenths but they say 1hundred thousands? Why?

[@viksra]

thank you

[@itsmeray01]

I must be getting close to the end of the internert if I'm watching how to read numbers.

Question ? how many thousands of an inch fit in 1/64th of a inch And how many Thousands of an inch are in 1 mm exactly ?

[@MrMahucutah]

good class and teach gracias

[@justinjimenez3760]

this is difficult to learn, ive been in a machine shop for five years and wed pronounce the number .25463 as two hundred and fifty four thou and six tenths, the three would be millionths.

[@WW5RM]

justin jimenez you are kidding me right? Where?

[@seanwolfe9321]

Yes and .25 isn't twenty five hundredths, it's two hundred fifty thousandths. Who's right?

[@NewsNowFortWorth]

@@seanwolfe9321 yes hundredth thou not million wow did the commenter even watch the video?

[@NewsNowFortWorth]

You watched the video and you work in a machine shop and you still got this wrong

[@NewsNowFortWorth]

@@seanwolfe9321 @sean wolfe and no it's twenty five thousand four hundred sixty three thousandth

[@patricktownsend9573]

thanks i would,ve got an F

[@sbarrievt]

Great video! Can you just teach my students for me?

[@RoadsideRon]

Start at the 4 in the decimal number. It's in the tenths place. The next one is the hundredths place, then keep counting to the last place value which is in the Ten-trillionths place value. The number is 4 trillion, 567 million, 890 thousand, 123. If this is your homework I probably shouldn't have given you the answer to this.

[@alanshand829]

To me Irvine said it right in the first 30 seconds of the video

[@thaliahcruz9555]

I been looking all over

[@Slick-Wit-it]

It's illegal to learn decimals with a pen and pad in your hands while operating a motorcycle. He's gonna get a ticket $237.57 with the last number on the price of the ticket ending in the hundredths place after the decimal 😜

how about this sir .025 mm? what in words?

[@stephenjohn7351]

Why we can't have once place

59 people thought the decimal was a period.
