It is a straightforward question on decimal representation. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is an integer without fractions, while a decimal is a way to express 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 indicate the whole part, and those to the right denote the fractional part.
112 as a decimal can be written simply as 112.0. It is not a recurring decimal as there are no fractional parts to repeat.
To express 112 as a decimal, we recognize that it is already a whole number. We can represent this as 112.0, where 0 indicates no fractional part. This representation uses a decimal point to explicitly show the lack of any fractional component.
Whole Number: An integer without fractions, representing a complete quantity.
Decimal: A number that includes a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part.
Decimal Point: A dot used to separate the whole number from the fractional part in a decimal.
Fractional Part: The part of a number that comes after the decimal point.
Terminating Decimal: A decimal that ends and does not repeat infinitely.
