6/10 as a Decimal

Answer

6/10 in decimals can be written as 0.6. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it ends and does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To get 6/10 in decimal, we will use the division method. Here as 6 is smaller than 10, we will divide the numerator by the denominator directly.

Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (6) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (10) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 6 is smaller than 10, it can't be divided as a whole number, so we will add a decimal point in the quotient place and perform the division.

Step 3: Divide 6 by 10. Since 6 is not a multiple of 10, we place a 0 in the quotient place after the decimal point.

Step 4: Multiply the quotient digit by the divisor (0 × 10 = 0) and subtract it from the dividend (6 - 0 = 6).

Step 5: Bring down a 0, making it 60. Divide 60 by 10, which gives 6. The division process stops here as we get the remainder as 0.

The answer for 6/10 as a decimal will be 0.6.
