62 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question about decimal representation. Understanding whole numbers and decimals is essential here. A whole number like 62 does not involve any fractional parts. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a dot (.) to separate the whole number from the fractional part. Since 62 is a whole number, its decimal representation will simply have no fractional part.
