Answer 2

Using the place value chart, we can see that the decimal 0.6 is six tenths, so we can write 0.6 as the fraction 6 out of 10 or $\frac{6}{10}$.

Notice however that the fraction $\frac{6}{10}$ 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.

Therefore, 0.6 can be written as the fraction $\frac{3}{5}$, which is in lowest terms.
