How do you use a decimal point to read?

To read a decimal point, you treat the numbers to the left of the point as whole numbers and the numbers to the right as fractional parts. The decimal point itself signifies the separation between these two parts. For example, in the number 3.14, you read it as "three point one four," where "three" is the whole number and "point one four" represents the decimal fraction. This method allows you to accurately convey both whole and fractional values in numerical expressions.
