Understanding numbers as decimals is fundamental in mathematics. In this case, we are considering the number 4. A decimal is a way to express both whole numbers and fractions using a decimal point. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part. Since 4 is a whole number, it can be simply expressed as 4.0 in decimal form, indicating no fractional part.

Answer

 

4 as a decimal is written as 4.0. It is a terminating decimal because it has a finite number of digits after the decimal point.

To express 4 as a decimal, we simply write it as 4.0. Since 4 is a whole number, it does not have any fractional part. The addition of a ".0" indicates that there are zero tenths, confirming its status as a whole number. In comparison to fractional numbers, converting a whole number like 4 into a decimal is straightforward because no division is necessary.
