Fractions are normally parts of a whole, although, in some cases whole number may be expressed as a fraction - particularly fractions that arise partway through a calculation, before they are simplified - such as 5882/17.
A decimal is simply a way of representing numbers in such a way the the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its left. A decimal number may be an integer or a part of the whole (or a number comprising both).
They can do. But they can also show wholes plus a part. For example, 41/2 or 4.5 represent four wholes and one part out of two of another.
Decimals and fractions are PART of a whole
They are two methods of defining part or parts of a whole.
yes they do and fractions also represent divide like if you had 1/2 you would have half of a whole!
Whole numbers are positive numbers and there are no fractions or decimals.
In mathematics, a whole number is a number without fractions or decimals. Since 12 is a whole number, it is considered one whole. Therefore, there is one whole in the number 12.
Decimals separate whole numbers from fractions.
No because whole numbers are integers without decimals or fractions
Honey, a whole number is just a fancy way of saying a number without any fractions or decimals. So, if you see a number like 2.2020020002 prancing around with all those decimals, it's definitely not a whole number. Stick with good ol' 2 if you want to keep it simple.
No because whole numbers are integers that do not have decimals or fractions attached to them.
Whole numbers are integers that have no fractions or decimals.
You need decimals when you measure and fractions. You need decimals, because to measure and fractions. Also, so whole numbers could exist if there are decimals. There will be no math if there's no decimals.
