What decimal is equivalent to 72100?

Answer 1

A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the required decimal representation is 72100, exactly as in the question.

Answer 2

The decimal 0.72 is equivalent to 72/100, or 72 divided by 100. This can be simplified to 0.72 when written in decimal form.
