Why is it ok to write additional zeros to the right of a decimal without affecting its value?
Because they are simply for 'padding' - Take for example the following numbers... 12.3, 10.02, 11.004... in order to make them easier to add up, you would 'pad' the shorter numbers with zero's to make them all the same length. Thus 12.3 becomes 12.300 and 10.02 becomes 10.020.
It's easier to add...
10.020
11.004
12.300
Than to add...
10.02
11.004
12.3
Note, however, that adding extra zeros to the right of the decimal point implies greater precision in the number so, when you express the final result, your should do error analysis and write the correct number of digits based on the individual accuracies.

What is 67.2 as a decimal?
67.2 as a decimal is simply 67.2. In decimal form, whole numbers like 67 are represented to the right of the decimal point. Since 67 is already a whole number, it can be directly expressed as a decimal without any additional steps or conversions.
Why you can write additional zeros to the right of a decimal point but not to the left?
You can write additional zeros to the right of a decimal point without changing the value because they represent fractions of a whole, such as in 1.00, which is equivalent to 1. However, adding zeros to the left of a whole number does not change its value; for example, 0005 is simply equal to 5. The placement of zeros to the right indicates precision in measurement, while those to the left do not affect the numerical value.

What is 311 as a decimal?

How do you convert a percent like 490.4 to a fraction?
Count the digits to the right of the decimal and divide the digits number, without a decimal, by 1 with (2 + number of digits right of decimal) zeros. So. 490.4% = 4904/100 = 4.904

right
What is 11530 without the decimal?
A decimal is a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. Adding zeros after the decimal point is wrong because they imply a degree of accuracy (significant figures) for which there is no justification.So, without a decimal, 11530 is either just a string of 5 digits or it is a number in some other base (>5).
What is the decimal portion of the decimal?
It can refer to the part to the right of the decimal point.
