Correct
To convert 0.06 to a fraction or mixed number and write it in lowest terms, follow these steps:
Step 1: Recognize the Place Value
The decimal 0.06 can be read as six hundredths, where the digit 6 is in the hundredths place.
Step 2: Determine the Denominator
Since the digit 6 is in the hundredths place, the denominator of our fraction will be 100.
Step 3: Write the Decimal as a Fraction
To convert the decimal 0.06 to a fraction, take the digits after the decimal point (06) and place them over the denominator from Step 2.
Therefore, 0.06 can be written as 6/100.
Step 4: Simplify the Fraction
To simplify the fraction and express it in lowest terms, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and divide both by the GCD.
In this case, the GCD of 6 and 100 is 2. So, divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
6 ÷ 2 = 3
100 ÷ 2 = 50
Therefore, the simplified fraction for 0.06 is 3/50.
Note: It is also written as a mixed number as 3/50 can be expressed as 0 and 3/50.
