Question

Write the given as a decimal:

$\frac{6}{5}$.

Answer 1

Placing the value in place value table:

Given:

$\frac{6}{5}=\frac{6\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{12}{10}$ (Multiplying $2$ in both numerator and denominator to get $10$ in denominator)

$\frac{10+2}{10}=\frac{10}{10}+\frac{2}{10}=1+\frac{2}{10}$

Thousands $1000$	Hundreds $100$	Tens $10$	Ones $1$	Decimal point $.$	Tenths $\frac{1}{10}$	Hundredths $\frac{1}{100}$	Thousandths $\frac{1}{1000}$
			$1$	$.$	$2$

Hence, $1.2$ is the decimal value.
