It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete entity without fractions or decimals. On the other hand, a decimal is a way of representing 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 represent the whole number, while those to the right represent the fractional part.
