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 fraction for easy calculation. Here, 6.1 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 6.1 becomes 6.1/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 (because there is only 1 decimal place). 6.1/1 × 10/10 = 61/10

Step 3: As the fraction 61/10 is already in its simplest form (since 61 is a prime number), no further simplification is needed.

Thus, 6.1 can be written as a fraction 61/10.
