55 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a basic question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we need to understand the relationship between whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete unit without fractions. Decimals are used to represent numbers that are not whole by using a decimal point to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
