60 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question regarding number representation. To begin with, understanding whole numbers and decimal representation is essential. A whole number is an integer without fractions. A decimal, on the other hand, is used to express numbers that are 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, while those to the right represent the fractional part.

What is 60 as a decimal?

60 as a decimalAnswer

 

The number 60 as a decimal is written as 60.0. This is because it is a whole number, and adding .0 does not change its value.

 

Explanation

 

To express 60 as a decimal, we consider the number itself. Since 60 is already a whole number, we can write it as 60.0 to indicate it precisely as a decimal. This doesn't change the value but shows the decimal form.

 

In decimal representation, the number to the left of the point is the whole number, and the right side can represent the fractional part if present.

 

In this case, the fractional component is 0.
