Question

next, write \\(\frac{60}{100}\\) as a decimal. \\(\frac{60}{100} = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction to decimal conversion

To convert a fraction with denominator 100 to a decimal, we can use the place value. The denominator 100 means the number is in the hundredths place. So, $\frac{60}{100}$ can be thought of as 60 hundredths.

Step2: Convert the fraction

60 hundredths in decimal form is written as 0.60, which simplifies to 0.6. But since 60/100 is 60 divided by 100, performing the division: $60\div100 = 0.60$ (or 0.6).

Answer:

0.60 (or 0.6, but 0.60 is more precise for hundredths place)
