Note on Writing a decimal number in words

Introduction

A decimal number consists of two parts: - a whole number and a decimal number. That is, we can write a decimal number as a combination of a whole number part and a decimal number part. For example; 2.34 can be written as 2 +. 34

The whole number part includes 2 and the decimal part includes 3 tenths and 4 hundredths.
