280 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal representation. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a number without fractions or decimals. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that may include fractional parts, using a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
