130 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal representation. Firstly, we need to understand the relationship between whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a number without fractions, and it can also be expressed as a decimal. A decimal is a way to express numbers that may or may not have a fractional part, 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.

Answer

 

130 as a decimal is simply 130.0. It is a terminating decimal, indicating there is no fractional part beyond the decimal point.

 

Explanation

 

To express 130 as a decimal, we recognize that 130 is already a whole number. However, it can be written with a decimal point to indicate zero fractional parts.

 

Step 1: Start with the whole number 130.

 

Step 2: Since there is no fractional part, append a decimal point followed by a zero to denote zero fractional components.

 

Step 3: The result is 130.0, which is the decimal representation of 130.
