The decimal 0.06 has a 6 in the hundredths place, meaning it can be written as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>0.06 = \\frac{6}{100}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because the number 6 is in the hundredths place, which represents 6 parts out of 100. Therefore, 0.06 can be directly expressed as the fraction <strong>6\/100<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s break down each of the options to confirm why <strong>6\/100<\/strong> is the correct answer and why the other options are not equivalent to 0.06.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Option a: 1\/6<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To convert <strong>1\/6<\/strong> into a decimal, divide 1 by 6:<br>[<br>\\frac{1}{6} = 0.1667\\ldots<br>]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is approximately 0.167, not 0.06. Hence, <strong>1\/6<\/strong> does not equal 0.06.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Option b: 1\/60<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To convert <strong>1\/60<\/strong> into a decimal, divide 1 by 60:<br>[<br>\\frac{1}{60} = 0.01666\\ldots<br>]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This equals 0.0167, which is much smaller than 0.06. Therefore, <strong>1\/60<\/strong> is not equal to 0.06.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Option c: 6\/10<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To convert <strong>6\/10<\/strong> into a decimal, divide 6 by 10:<br>[<br>\\frac{6}{10} = 0.6<br>]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This equals 0.6, which is larger than 0.06. Therefore, <strong>6\/10<\/strong> is not equal to 0.06.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Option d: 6\/100<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To convert <strong>6\/100<\/strong> into a decimal, divide 6 by 100:<br>[<br>\\frac{6}{100} = 0.06<br>]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This equals exactly 0.06, making <strong>6\/100<\/strong> the correct answer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, <strong>6\/100<\/strong> is the fraction that is equivalent to 0.06.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following fractions is equal to 0.06 a. 1\/6 b. 1\/60 c. 6\/10 d. 6\/100 The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct answer is d. 6\/100.
