170 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question on decimal conversion. To understand this, we need to know about whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a number without fractions, and a decimal is a representation of a number that includes a fractional component using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole number from the fractional part. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
