Question

$\frac{6}{25}$ as a decimal is ___.

• A. 24.0
• B. 2.4
• C. 0.24
• D. 2400.0

Answer 1

The correct option is C

0.24

To convert a fraction to a decimal, we must convert the denominator to a power of 10. (e.g 10, 100, 1000 etc). Here denominator is 25. ($4\times 25=100$)

So,

$=\left(\frac{6}{25}\right)\times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{24}{100}=0.24$
