87 as a decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This is a straightforward question on decimal representation. Initially, one must understand whole numbers and decimals. A whole number is a complete, undivided entity. In contrast, a decimal represents a number that may not be whole, using a (.) or a decimal point to separate the whole part from any fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point indicate the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
