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.
