It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete unit without fractions or decimals. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point 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.
