Question

What is $0.6$ as a fraction?

Answer 1

Convert decimal in fraction:

Given decimal is $0.6$.

$\begin{array}{rcl}0.6& =& \frac{0.6\times 10}{10}\left(\mathrm{Multiply}\mathrm{both}\mathrm{numerator}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{denominator}\mathrm{by}10\right)\\ & =& \frac{6}{10}\\ & =& \frac{\cancel{2}\times 3}{\cancel{2}\times 5}\\ & =& \frac{3}{5}\end{array}$

Hence, the required fraction is $\frac{3}{5}$.
