It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete entity without any fractional or decimal part. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that may not be whole, using a (.) or a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
