140 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question on converting a number to decimal form. Understanding whole numbers and decimals is fundamental. A whole number is complete by itself, with no fractional part. A decimal is a way to express a number that has a fractional component, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole number from the fractional part. Numbers to the left of the decimal point are whole numbers, while numbers to the right represent the fractional part in base 10.
