320 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting numbers to decimals is a straightforward task. We start by understanding whole numbers and decimals. A whole number refers to a complete unit without fractions or decimals. In contrast, a decimal represents a number that is not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The digits to the left of the decimal point represent the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
