It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top), and denominator (number below). A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
66 as a decimal is simply written as 66.0. This is because 66 is already a whole number and placing a .0 indicates that there is no fractional part.
To express 66 as a decimal, we simply write it as 66.0. Whole numbers can be written with a decimal point followed by a zero to indicate there is no fractional part. This conversion is straightforward as there is no division or conversion needed like in fractions.
Whole Number: A number without fractions; an integer.
Decimal: A number that uses the base ten and includes a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part.
Fraction: A numerical quantity that is not a whole number, representing a part of a whole.
Numerator: The top part of a fraction, indicating how many parts of the whole are being considered.
Denominator: The bottom part of a fraction, showing how many parts make up a whole.
