Decimals and exponents
Description
This video describes how whole numbers and decimals are used in the monetary system, how to calculate costs in foreign currencies, and how to use exponents. Dramatized segments and computer animations focus on ways to determine the international value of U.S. dollars at a currency exchange; select chairs for an interior decorating job while staying within a budget; and calculate interstellar distances using scientific notation-and imagination.
