To convert 0.6 into a fraction, we can follow the steps below:
- Write 0.6 as 0.6/1 to technically be written as a fraction.
- Count the number of fractional digits after the decimal point in 0.6, which in this case is 1. For however many digits after the decimal point there are, multiply the numerator and denominator of 0.6/1 each by 10 to the power of that many digits. In this case, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of 0.6/1 each by 10.
- Simplify the fraction (if possible) by finding similar factors and cancelling them out. In this case, 6 and 10 have a common factor of 2, so we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 3/5.
Therefore, 0.6 as a fraction is 3/5.
