a number with a decimal point is a a fraction, a part of the whole goes behind the decimal. where as one with out a decimal point is just a whole number.
buy putting 24 behind the decimal point and you can put a 0 in front of the decimal point but you don't haft to
always remember to count the numbers behind the decimal(s)
Because each place behind the decimal point is a fraction, ( decimal point, 1/10, 1/100), a fraction is something hundredths. For example, 28% = .28 = 28/100
Because it is a point that is used in the decimal system of counting. Decimal means based on ten.
The fourth place behind the decimal point is 10/1000s and the fifth place behind the decimal point is 100/1000s.

If you mean the numbers to the right of the decimal point, they comprise the fractional part of the number.
always remember to count the numbers behind the decimal(s)
move the decimal down and over however many numbers are behind the decimal
You may be thinking of rounding (right of the decimal) or zero suppression (left of the decimal).
Because each place behind the decimal point is a fraction, ( decimal point, 1/10, 1/100), a fraction is something hundredths. For example, 28% = .28 = 28/100
The 6 represents the thousandth value behind the decimal point.
A decimal point is the actual point. A decimal is the number that has a decimal point in it. For example; 28429.018
I'm going to assume that the threes are behind the decimal point. That means that the result is whatever number before the decimal point and 1/3. 1/3 is an irrational number. the 3s after the decimal point go on forever. If you're looking at 3s in front of the decimal point, you just have a large number with a lot of 3s just like you could have 1000000 or 10000000.
If you're dealing with a recurring decimal then it is common practice to place a dot over the digit that recurs, e.g. the fraction 1/3 written as a decimal would have a dot placed over the second or third digit (in this case a 3) behind the decimal point to idicate that it recurrs infinitely.
