8mm as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about millimeters and decimals. A millimeter is a unit of measurement in the metric system. Decimals are used to represent numbers that are not 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.
