1200 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Understanding the conversion of numbers into decimal form is a fundamental concept in mathematics. A whole number can be easily represented in decimal form by considering its place value. A decimal uses a point (.) to separate the whole number part from the fractional part, even when there is no fractional part present. For whole numbers, the digits to the left of the decimal point represent the entire value, and there may be zeros to the right of the decimal point indicating no fractional part.
