Explanation:

Step1: Understand decimal place values

A tenth $\frac{1}{10}$ equals $\frac{10}{100}$, so $0.6 = 6 \times \frac{1}{10}$.

Step2: Convert to hundredths

Multiply numerator and denominator by 10: $0.6 = 6 \times \frac{10}{100} = \frac{60}{100} = 0.60$.

Step3: Match with options

Compare the converted value to the given choices.

Answer:

0.60
