This is a straightforward topic on decimal representation. Firstly, we must understand numbers and decimals. A whole number, like 64, is an integer without any fractional or decimal part. A decimal is a way to express a number that may not be 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, if any.
64 as a decimal is simply 64.0. Here, the number is already a whole number, so it remains the same when expressed as a decimal.
To express 64 as a decimal, we acknowledge that it is a whole number and does not have any fractional part.
Therefore, we can write it as 64.0 to emphasize its decimal form.
The decimal point is added to indicate that there are no fractional parts following the whole number 64.
