53 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal representation. Firstly, we have to learn whole numbers and decimals. A whole number represents a complete quantity without fractions or decimals. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that may not be whole, using a (.) or 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, and any numbers to the right represent the fractional part.
