This is a simple question about decimal representation. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is an integer without fractions or decimals. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. In this context, we will convert the whole number 36 into a decimal form, illustrating that it remains unchanged in its value as a decimal when there is no fractional component.
