There is almost no difference. The only difference is placing the decimal point.
There is no difference in the procedure.
Multiplying a decimal by a whole number is similar to multiplying two whole numbers in that the basic process of multiplication remains the same: you are combining groups of a certain size. However, the key difference lies in the placement of the decimal point in the result, which requires you to account for the number of decimal places in the decimal being multiplied. In whole number multiplication, the result is straightforward without needing to adjust for decimals. Overall, the fundamental operations are the same, but the presence of a decimal adds an additional step in determining the final answer.
0.6 is a decimal. It cannot be a whole number.
Adding and subtracting with decimals primarily involves aligning the decimal points and performing the operation, ensuring that the digits are correctly placed in relation to the decimal. In contrast, multiplying with decimals requires multiplying the numbers as if they were whole numbers, then counting the total number of decimal places in both factors to place the decimal point in the product accurately. While addition and subtraction focus on the positional value of the digits, multiplication also incorporates the overall scale of the numbers involved.
Neither. A for every decimal number (which may itself be a whole number), there is a smaller whole number and for every whole number there is a smaller decimal number.
they aren't that different but the whole number needs to be converted for them to be the same
The difference is that if you multiply with a whole number and then multiply with a decimal and you compare.You will notice the whole number is greater.You are very welcome.

You do the multiplication in exactly the same way. The only extra thing is that when multiplying decimals, you need to place the decimal point (or decimal comma - depending on your country) in the correct position. If one number has, for example, 3 digits after the decimal point, and the other 4, you need to place the decimal point in the result (BEFORE eliminating unnecessary zeros) in such a way that there are, in this example, 7 digits (3 + 4) to the right of the decimal point.
It is not. When multiplying two whole numbers you need not be concerned about placing the decimal point in the answer.

When multiplying a whole number by a decimal with two places, ignore the decimal point and multiply as if you were multiplying two whole numbers. After you get the answer, re-insert the decimal point so that the product has two decimal places.
Multiplying 6.7 and 5.5 is the same as multiplying 0.67 and 55, or 67 and 0.55.

The fundamental operations on whole numbers and decimals are addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. However, multiplying and dividing decimals is a bit more complicated because you have to count decimal points to get an accurate answer.
