61 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn about whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is an integer without fractions, representing a complete entity. A decimal is a way to represent 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, and those to the right represent the fractional part. In this case, 61 is already a whole number and can be represented as a decimal simply by adding a decimal point followed by zeros.
