It is a simple question on decimal representation. Firstly, we need to understand the relationship between whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a number without fractions, and it can also be expressed as a decimal. A decimal is a way to express numbers that may or may not have a fractional part, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

Answer

Step 1: Start with the whole number 130.

 

Step 2: Since there is no fractional part, append a decimal point followed by a zero to denote zero fractional components.
