6/30 as a Decimal

Answer

6/30 as a decimal can be written as 0.2. It is a terminating decimal, meaning it does not repeat infinitely.

Explanation

To convert 6/30 to a decimal, we will use the division method. 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 (30) will be taken as the divisor.

Step 2: As 6 is smaller than 30, we will use the decimal method. We will add 0 to the dividend, which will make 6 as 60, and add a decimal point in the quotient place.

Step 3: Now that it is 60, we can divide it by 30. Let's see how many times 30 fits into 60.

Step 4: 30 fits into 60 exactly 2 times, as 30 × 2 = 60.

Step 5: We will write 2 in the quotient place and subtract 60 from 60, giving a remainder of 0. Since we get a remainder of 0, the process stops here.

The answer for 6/30 as a decimal is 0.2.
