Do fractions and decimals both show parts of a whole?
They can do. But they can also show wholes plus a part. For example, 41/2 or 4.5 represent four wholes and one part out of two of another.
What shows the parts of a whole in two words?
A fraction.
How do you write 2.061 in decimal words?
To write 2.061 in decimal words, you would say "two and sixty-one thousandths." This breaks down the number into its whole number part (2), the decimal point, and the fractional part expressed in words (061 as sixty-one thousandths). This helps to clearly communicate the value of the number in words.
Why isn't a mixed number a whole number?

A mathematical way of expressing a part of a whole thing is called a?
A part of a whole is a fraction. To spread a good math joke: Why did the inmate rip a piece of paper in half? Because two halves make a whole! In the joke the halves (1/2) were the part of a whole.
