Convert 0.6 into a Fraction

Answer: Mathematical fractions have two parts, numerator and denominator. Usually, the numerator is larger than the denominator and it is called proper fractions. Similarly, when the denominator is greater than the numerator it is in the form of an improper fraction.

To convert 0.6 into a fraction, we first need to write 0.6 in a form of a/b where a and b, both are positive integers. Since 0.6 has no denominator, we imply it to have 1 as the denominator as the value remains constant.

Therefore, 0.6 = 0.6/1

Now, we remove the decimal by counting the places after the decimal point. There is one unit number before the decimal point so we multiply and divide the number by 10.

0.6/1 x 10/10 = 6/10

Hence, the required fraction is 6/10.
