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.
If every decimal could be made into a whole number, we wouldn't needdecimals at all, and the companies that manufacture the points would beout of business.The reason for wrtiting a number as a decimal is usually that it isn't awhole number, and it can't be written as one.
Yup
Every number can be written as a quotient.Every rational number can be written as a quotient of whole numbers.
no cuz i said no

a decimal point

Yes

Yup
A decimal is similar to a fraction because they are both part of a whole number, not a whole number, just part of one. For example, 0.5 is the same thing as 1/2 , or half. This means both are only half of a whole number.
It has to be a whole number, or else every number would be a multiple of every other number.

Any rational number is either a repeating decimal, or a terminating decimal.
Any number that is not a fraction, percent, decimal, or negative is a whole number. Counting numbers are whole numbers. Counting numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... Zero is a whole number. So yes, every integer greater then negative one is a whole number, and so is -1 and every integer less than -1.
