Question

What is 3/5 equal to ?

Answer 1

$\frac{3}{5}$

We need to make the bottom of the fraction equal 10, or 100, or 1000, etc, so multiply top and bottom by 2.

$\frac{6}{10}$

Write down the top number and put the decimal point one space from the right for every zero in the bottom number (10 = 1 zero, so move decimal 1 place from the right).

Answer: 0.6
