Question

Which decimal is less than six tenths?

Answer 1

C is the correct answer
$0.59 < 0.6$


good luck

Answer 2

Translate the decimal into a fraction:

$0.6 = \frac{6}{10}$

Translate the answers into fractions:

A
$\frac{7}{10}$

B
$5 \frac{7}{10}$

C
$\frac{59}{100}$

D
$\frac{60}{100}$

We can immediately eliminate A and B, as A has a higher numerator and the same denominator as 6/10, and B has a whole number.

Simplify answer D:

$\frac{60}{100} \div \frac{10}{10} = \frac{6}{10}$

Answer D has the same fraction as 6/10. This fraction cannot be lesser than 6/10.

The answer is C.
