Question

What fraction is equivalent to six tenths and has a denominator of 100?

Answer 1

6 = 6/10

Explanation:

.6 = 6/10 , by definition. = 3/5 (reduced -- divide numerator and denominator by 2.

Answer 2

`(60)/(100)`

Explanation:

Six tenths:

`(6)/(10)`

where 6 is the numerator and 10 is the denominator

We want the denominator to be 100, so how do we convert 10 into 100?

We multiply by 10, since 10 x 10 = 100

When working out equivalent fractions, we must remember to do the same operation to both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, we should multiply both by 10:

`(6 * 10)/(10 * 10)=(60)/(100)`

Therefore, the fraction that is equivalent to six tenths and has a denominator of 100 is:

`(60)/(100)`

(sixty hundredths)
