26 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Understanding whole numbers and decimals is essential. 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 part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
