Well, isn't that just a happy little question! To turn a whole number into a decimal, you simply add a decimal point and a zero after the number. For example, if you have the whole number 5, you can turn it into the decimal 5.0. It's just a little change that can bring a whole new dimension to your number world.

Oh, dude, making a whole number a decimal is like adding a ".0" at the end of it. So, if you have the whole number 5, just slap a ".0" after it and boom, now it's 5.0, a decimal! It's like giving your whole number a fancy makeover, but really it's just putting on a decimal costume.
To convert a whole number to a decimal, you simply add a decimal point after the number and place a zero after the decimal point. For example, if you have the whole number 5, you can make it a decimal by writing it as 5.0. This is because the decimal point represents the end of the whole number portion and the zero signifies that there are no tenths, hundredths, or thousandths.

Assuming you mean a whole number rather than a hole number, you do not need to do anything.
A decimal version of a number is simply a way of expressing it in a form in which the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. That is all a decimal is: no need for a decimal point or any 0s or anything else.
So, for example, 67 is the decimal equivalent for sixty seven.

To express .20 as a whole number, you would multiply it by 100 to shift the decimal two places to the right. This would give you 20 as a whole number. Converting a decimal to a whole number involves removing the decimal point by multiplying the decimal by the appropriate power of 10.
15,000 is already a whole number. A whole number is any number that is not a fraction or decimal. 15,00.96 would not be a whole number, but a decimal.
No a decimal is smaller than a whole number.
No. The '3' before the decimal point is a whole number. The '14' after the decimal point is a piece of a number.
A decimal, in this context, is a useless description: a decimal can be an integer, a rational number or an irrational number. Furthermore, a whole number times a decimal fraction can be a whole number, a rational number or an irrational number.For example:4 * 3.5 = 14 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = whole number.4 * 3.3 = 13.2 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = rational fraction.4 * 3.14159... [ie pi in decimal form] = 4 * pi, which is an irrational number.
