<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand how whole numbers and decimals work together. A whole number is a number without fractions or decimals, simply representing a complete quantity. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, while those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p>To express 120 as a decimal, we recognize that it is a<a>whole number</a>. Since there are no additional fractional parts, it is written as 120.0. The decimal point is used to indicate that there are no fractional parts, but since 120 is an<a>integer</a>, it remains unchanged. Step-by-step breakdown of the process:</p>
