Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about time conversion and decimals. Time can be expressed in different units, such as hours, minutes, and seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or 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.
