0 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a simple question about decimal representation. Firstly, we must understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete unit with no fractional parts. A decimal is used to represent numbers that are not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

What is 0 as a decimal?

0 as a decimal

 

Answer

 

0 as a decimal is simply written as 0.0. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it doesn't repeat any digits infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To express 0 as a decimal, we can consider the whole number 0 itself. Since it doesn't have any fractional part, we can denote it with a decimal point as 0.0. This indicates zero whole units and zero fractional units, maintaining the value of zero.
