57 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Understanding fractions and decimals is essential. A fraction represents a part of the whole, consisting of a numerator (the top number) and a denominator (the bottom number). The numerator shows how many parts are considered, while the denominator indicates how many parts make up the whole. A decimal represents a number that is not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. Numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
