12 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal representation. Decimals are a way to express numbers in the base ten system. A decimal point separates the whole number 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.
