74 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a number without fractions; it is complete by itself. A decimal is a way to represent a number, particularly when it includes fractions, 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.

What is 74 as a decimal?

74 as a decimal

Answer

 

74 in decimals is simply written as 74.0. It is a terminating decimal, as it does not have any fractional part repeating infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To express 74 as a decimal, we recognize that it is already a whole number. Therefore, when converting it to decimal form, we just add a decimal point followed by a zero: 74 becomes 74.0.

 

Step 1: Identify that 74 is a whole number, which means it does not have a fractional part to convert.

 

Step 2: Add a decimal point and a zero to indicate that there is no fractional part.

 

Thus, 74 as a decimal is 74.0.
