Decimals include a fractional part, represented by digits to the right of the decimal point, while whole numbers only have a whole part, represented by digits to the left of the decimal point. Whole numbers can be positive or negative, while decimals can also be fractions or mixed numbers. Additionally, whole numbers are used to count while decimals are used for measurement and precision.
One way they are different is that decimals are "parts of a whole" not necessarily a whole.
rounding whole numbers and decimals
No because whole numbers are integers without decimals or fractions
No because whole numbers are integers that do not have decimals or fractions attached to them.
Whole numbers contain no fractional part as do decimals

Same rules as adding whole numbers with different signs.
in dividing decimals you never get a remainder and in dividing whole numbers you do. +++ More to the point perhaps, you are working in powers of 10 all the time.
Decimals are real numbers. Furthermore, integers and whole numbers are the same thing.
Decimals separate whole numbers from fractions.
Whole numbers are positive numbers and there are no fractions or decimals.
All whole numbers are decimal numbers.
