It is a simple question on decimal representation. Firstly, we have to understand numbers and decimals. A number such as 389 is already a whole number. It does not have a fractional part. A decimal is used to represent numbers that are not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
