• C. 0.3
• D. 0.2

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0.5

$\text{The second fraction from the right}$ $\text{is}\frac{6}{12}.$

$\text{Let's convert the fraction into its}$ $\text{simplest form.}$

$⟹\frac{6}{12}=$ $\frac{6\times 1}{6\times 2}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\text{To convert this fraction into a}$ $\text{decimal value, we will multiply}$ $\text{the numerator and the denominator}$ $\text{with 5.}$

$⟹\frac{1\times 5}{2\times 5}=\frac{5}{10}$

$⟹\frac{5}{10}=0.5$

$\text{Hence, the decimal value of}\frac{6}{12}\text{is 0.5.}$
