240 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Decimal conversion is a straightforward process. To understand how 240 appears as a decimal, one must comprehend the basic concept of whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is an integer without fractions or decimals, while a decimal represents a number that may not be whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from any fractional part. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the entire number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
