Answer 1

In the decimal 0.006, the '6' is one-tenth of the '6' in 0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the decimal 0.006, the '6' is one-tenth of the '6' in 0.6.

To see this, we can convert 0.006 and 0.6 to fractions:

Now, both fractions can be simplified:

From these fractions, it is clear that 6/10 is equal to 3/5, which means that the '6' in 0.006 is one-tenth of the '6' in 0.6.
