It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top), here 6, which represents how many parts out of the whole are being considered. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make up the whole, here it is 100. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
6/100 in decimals can be written as 0.06. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends and does not repeat infinitely.
To get 6/100 in decimal form, we will use the division method. Since 6 is smaller than 100, we will use the decimal method which will give us 0.06. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process.
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (6) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (100) will be taken as the divisor.
Step 2: As 6 is smaller than 100, it can't be divided directly. We will add a decimal point in the quotient place and add 0 to the dividend, making 6 as 60.
Step 3: Now that it is 60, we can divide it by 100. We add another 0 to the dividend, making it 600.
Step 4: Divide 600 by 100, which gives us 6. Step 5: The division process gives us a quotient of 0.06 with no remainder. This is a terminating decimal.
The answer for 6/100 as a decimal will be 0.06.
