Question

Convert the fraction $\frac{6}{5}$ into decimals by making the denominator a multiple of $10$.

Answer 1

$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{5}=\frac{6\times 2}{5\times 2}$ ( Multiply the numerator and denominator by $2$ to make the denominator a multiple of $10$ )

$\Rightarrow \frac{6\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{12}{10}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{10}=1.2$ ( Since , there is only one zero in denominator so the decimal point will be placed after one digit in the numerator moving from right to left )

Thus , the decimal representation of $\frac{12}{10}$ is $1.2$ .
