This topic addresses the conversion of a whole number to decimal format. A whole number is an integer that is not a fraction or a decimal. Decimals are used to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. In this case, the conversion is straightforward because the number is already a whole number.
11 in decimal form is written as 11.0. Since 11 is a whole number, it does not have a fractional part.
To express 11 as a decimal, we simply consider that 11 is already a whole number. Therefore, when written as a decimal, it becomes 11.0, where the ".0" indicates the absence of any fractional part.
Step 1: Identify the whole number; in this case, it is 11.
Step 2: Recognize that as a whole number, the decimal representation will be the number itself followed by ".0".
Step 3: Write 11 as 11.0 to indicate its decimal form. This is known as a terminating decimal because it ends and does not continue with additional digits.
