Question

Write ­$\frac{3}{5}$as decimal number.

Answer 1

Converting fraction into decimal number

To convert a fraction into decimal, we try to make the denominator of the fraction a multiple of $10$

Here, the denominator is $5$.

So, we can multiply $5$ by $2$ to make it $10$

Thus, multiplying numerator and denominator by $2$, we get

$\frac{3\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{6}{10}$

Now, write down $6$ with the decimal point $1$ places from the right because $10$ has$1$ zeros.

$\frac{6}{10}=0.6$

Hence, the decimal of fraction $\frac{3}{5}$ is $0.6$.
