12000 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting a whole number to a decimal is a straightforward process. First, we need to understand the concept of whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is any number without fractions or decimals, such as 12000. A decimal represents a number that is not whole, 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 part, and those to the right represent the fractional part, if any.
