Answer: 0.6

Explanation:

The fractions have the form shown below:


(a)/(b)

Where: a is the numerator and b is the denominator.

To convert a fraction to a decimal number, you must divide the numerator by the denominator.

You know that the fraction is three-fifths, which is written as following:


(3)/(5)

Therefore, when you divide the numerator 3 by the denominator 5, you obtain the following decimal number which is equivalent to that fraction:


(3)/(5)=0.6
