27 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question about decimal representation. To understand decimals, we first need to grasp whole numbers and place value. A whole number is a complete unit without fractions. A decimal is a representation of a number that may have a fractional part, separated by a decimal point (.). The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number part, while those to the right represent the fractional part.
