Decimal?
To write a decimal you go to the end of the whole number 5 for example and then you put a period (5.) then you add the rest of the decimal like 5.6
You can add a period, and a zero, after the whole number. Or you can just consider the whole numbers themselves a special kind of "decimal number".
8.7. A decimal point (the period in math) says that it's a decimal. A decimal is a fraction of the whole, expressed with the period and means tenths. So the number given is eight wholes and 7/10 of a whole.
For the United States: The period, or decimal as it's called in math, means the number is less than a whole number. Examples: 3.45 means 3 pizzas and 45% of a pizza. $199.89 means 199 dollars and 89% of a dollar (89 cents). In some European countries, the decimal is used as a comma and the comma as a decimal, but just focus on what it means in your math class.
