Answer:
Your work is correct as far as it goes. Now eliminate the terms that are zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying anything by zero gives zero. Adding zero is like adding nothing. Zero is called the "additive identity element" because ...
a + 0 = a
Adding zero doesn't change anything. You can (and should) drop the zero if your goal is to simplify the expression.
Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.6 is 6 tenths. So we can write 0.6 as the fraction 6/10.
Notice however that 6/10 is not in lowest terms.
So we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 10 which is 2.
So if we divide the numerator and denominator by 2, we get 3/5.
So 0.6 can be written as the fraction 3/5 which is in lowest terms.
