How can I explain to my 5th grader why 376=376.0?

Question

i need some help with 5th grade math.

Answer

Try using money to help 'em out. The .0 is just extra cents. Use other numbers to compare, too.

Answer

You should say him that this 0 is after the decimal point and is not accepted in S.F (Significant Figures) 
If he asks about S.F and if u know about S.F then explain him otherwise say him u will be taught this in Ninth or Matric.
