12 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal representation. Decimals are a way to express numbers in the base ten system. A decimal point separates the whole number 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.

12 as a decimal

 

Answer

12 as a decimal is written simply as 12.0. Since 12 is a whole number, it can be represented with a decimal point followed by a zero to indicate there are no fractional parts.

 

Explanation

To express 12 as a decimal, we recognize that it is already a whole number. In decimal notation, whole numbers can be written with a decimal point and a zero to indicate the absence of a fractional component.

 

Step 1: Identify the whole number, which is 12 in this case.

 

Step 2: Write 12 followed by a decimal point and a zero, resulting in 12.0. This representation makes it clear that there are no fractional parts in the number.
