decimalizes
Makes base-ten friendly
Decimalizes means converts to a decimal system—typically currency or measurements.
Britain decimalized its currency in 1971, replacing shillings and pence with a system based on hundreds.
The country decimalized its weights and measures in the 1970s.
The process simplifies calculation by using base-ten divisions.
