It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is an integer without any fractional or decimal part, and it represents a complete quantity. A decimal is a way to express numbers that are not 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.
