Example :

Answer 1

Use toFixed instead of stringify. Example:

var num = 1;
var numStr = num.toFixed(1); //result is "1.0"

More about toFixed - http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_tofixed.asp.

To be clear We are talking about conversion number to string not number to float ( such type not exists in javascript ) like can be understood from question description. toFixed will always return String with specified number of decimals.
