30 seconds as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Understanding decimal conversion involves learning about fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole and has two parts: the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number). A decimal is a way to represent a non-whole number, 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.
