1500 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a number without fractions or decimals. A decimal represents a number that is 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, and those to the right represent the fractional part. In this case, since 1500 is already a whole number, representing it as a decimal involves adding a decimal point followed by zeros.
