1 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number represents a complete unit without fractions or decimals. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that include fractions of a 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 part, while those to the right represent the fractional part.
