Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 6.012 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 6.012 becomes 6.012/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 (because there are 3 decimal places). 6.012/1 × 1000/1000 = 6012/1000
