Question 7 (a)

Write as a fraction in the lowest term:
0.60

Answer 1

Fraction: Representing a number in the form $\frac{a}{b}$, where a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero

Lowest Form: A fraction is said to be in the simplest (or lowest) form if its numerator and denominator have no common factor except 1.

$0.60$

$=\frac{\text{/}60}{\text{/}100}$ (dividing numerator and denominator by 20)

$=\frac{3}{5}$
