Question

Write the decimal as a fraction or mixed number in the simplest form: 0.6

Answer 1

Step 1: Write 0.6 in fraction form by replacing decimal point with 10 as denominator.

$0.6=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{2\times 3}{2\times 5}$

Step 2: To convert it in simplest form cancel out the common factors of both numerator & denominator.

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

Hence, the simplest form is $\frac{3}{5}$.
