Rounding 27.27 2002-11-03
From A parent:
If you have a problem 27.27 and you need to round to the first 7 the answer would be 27

Would 27.0 be acceptable as well or is it completely wrong.

The number of decimal places in 1 over a power of 2 2002-09-12
From Allan:
Does anyone notice that the maximum number of decimal place of the number 2 dividing 1 and its increment (4, 8, 16...etc) is the same as the power of number 2? eg. 22=4, thus the max number of decimal of 1/4=0.25 which is 2 decimal place and 2 is the number of power of 2 take 64 as example: 26=64, and take 1/64=0.015625 which has 6 decimal place (and is the power 6)

Is there such a law in math? If yes, can you tell me what it is? Or is this my discovery?
