144 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal representation. Decimal numbers are based on the base ten system and can represent whole numbers, fractions, or both. A decimal point is used to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. In the case of whole numbers like 144, the decimal representation is straightforward. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and the fractional part, in this case, is zero.
