Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Advance Topics

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we need to understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete entity without any fractional part. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that may not be 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, and those to the right represent the fractional part, if any.

What is 250 as a decimal?

250 as a decimal

 

Answer

 

250 as a decimal can be written as 250.0. It is a straightforward conversion because 250 is already a whole number, and adding a decimal point with a zero does not change its value.

 

Explanation

 

To express 250 as a decimal, we recognize that it is already a whole number. By convention, whole numbers can be written with a decimal point and a zero to indicate no fractional part.

 

Thus, we write 250 as 250.0.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Step 1: Identify that 250 is a whole number.

 

Step 2: To convert it into a decimal form, simply append a decimal point followed by a zero.

 

Step 3: The number then becomes 250.0, which indicates there is no fractional part beyond the decimal point.

 

Step 4: This is a terminating decimal since it does not continue or have any repeating digits after the decimal point.
