1. **Problem:** Convert the decimal 0.6 to a fraction. 2. **Formula and rules:** To convert a decimal to a fraction, write the decimal as a fraction with denominator as a power of 10 depending on the number of decimal places, then simplify. 3. **Step-by-step:** - 0.6 has 1 decimal place, so write as \( \frac{6}{10} \). - Simplify \( \frac{6}{10} \) by dividing numerator and denominator by 2: \( \frac{6 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{3}{5} \). 4. **Answer:** \(0.6 = \frac{3}{5}\). This method applies to all decimals: count decimal places, write as fraction over corresponding power of 10, then simplify.
