Hi anky16;
There is only one solution.
Welcome to the forum!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Hi anky16,
Answer and logic is same as bobbym's.
If you want to use equations:

Decimal numbers such as 3.762 are used in situations which call for more precision than whole numbers provide. As with whole numbers, a digit in a decimal number has a value which depends on the place of the digit. The places to the left of the decimal point are ones, tens, hundreds, and so on, just as with whole numbers.

That is not correct. 3.762 is not more precise than the whole number 3. The whole number or integer is exact and implies no error. 3.762 is more precise than the decimal 3.
When you do a calculation with integers such as 7 * 5 = 35, this is exact. (22 / 7 ) ( 67 / 6 ) = 35.095238 is not exact. It implies an error of ± .0000005
