1200 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Understanding the conversion of numbers into decimal form is a fundamental concept in mathematics. A whole number can be easily represented in decimal form by considering its place value. A decimal uses a point (.) to separate the whole number part from the fractional part, even when there is no fractional part present. For whole numbers, the digits to the left of the decimal point represent the entire value, and there may be zeros to the right of the decimal point indicating no fractional part.

1200 as a decimal is written simply as 1200.0.

 

Explanation

 

To express 1200 as a decimal, we place it in the context of the base-ten system, where it is already a whole number.

 

Step 1: Recognize that 1200 is a whole number, meaning it does not have a fractional part.

 

Step 2: In decimal form, this is shown by placing a decimal point after the number, followed by zero.

 

Step 3: Thus, 1200 becomes 1200.0, indicating that there is no fractional part.
