Question

Express $\frac{6}{25}$ in the form of decimal number.

• A. 2.4
• B. 24
• C. 0.024
• D. 0.24

Answer 1

The correct option is D 0.24

The given fraction is $\frac{6}{25}$.
To convert a fraction into decimal form, make the denominator in terms of multiples of 10.
i.e., $\frac{6\times 4}{25\times 4}=\frac{24}{100}$
Now, shift the decimal point two places to the left of 24.0 as 100 has two zeros.
Therefore, $\frac{6}{25}=0.24$
