Answer 1

.06 or 6/100

1) To find out the factor that multiplied by 1/10 yields .0006 let's do the following:

2) Rewrite .006 as a fraction:

`0.006=(6)/(1000)`

2.2) Then we can write out the following equation:

`\begin{gathered} (6)/(1000)=(1)/(10)\cdot(6)/(100) \\ (6)/(10000)=(6)/(10000)\text{True!} \\ \\ 0.006=(1)/(10)\cdot0.06 \\ 0.006=0.006\text{ True} \end{gathered}`

Note that 0.006 or 6/1000 is 1/10th of 0.06

3) Hence, then the answer is 0.006 is 1/10 of 0.06
