It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top) and the denominator (number below). A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using 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.

What is 50 as a decimal?

$50 as a decimal$

Answer

50 as a decimal is written as 50.0.

Explanation

To express 50 as a decimal, we need to understand that it is already a whole number. Adding a decimal point followed by a zero does not change its value, but it explicitly shows it in decimal form.

Therefore, 50 can be represented as 50.0.

This indicates that there are no fractional parts beyond the decimal point.
