480 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question regarding decimal representation. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete, non-fractional number. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that include parts smaller than the whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole number from the fractional part. Numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, while numbers to the right represent the fractional part.
