Final answer:

A number with one or more digits to the right of the decimal point is called a decimal. Decimals represent fractions or parts of a whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A number with one or more digits to the right of the decimal point is called a decimal.

The digits to the left of the decimal point represent whole numbers, while the digits to the right of the decimal point represent fractions or parts of a whole number. For example, in the number 3.14, 3 is the whole number and 14 is the fraction or part of a whole number.

Decimals are used to represent values that are not whole numbers, such as measurements, money, and percentages.

If you're asking for a number that has one or more decimal places:

3.47
(3 and 47 hundreths)



7.4
(7 and 4 tenths)



I'm not sure exactly what it would be due to the fact that they are teaching Math differently as time progresses.
