Question

Find: $0.2\times 6$

Answer 1

Find the required value:

The decimal $0.2$ can be written in fractions as $\frac{2}{10}$

$\therefore 0.2\times 6=\left(\frac{2}{10}\right)\times 6$

$=\frac{2\times 6}{10}$

$=\frac{12}{10}$

Now, the fraction $\frac{12}{10}$ can be expressed in decimal form as $1.2$

Hence, $\mathbf{0}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{2}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{6}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{2}$
