Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First we will multiply the numerator and denominator by a number that make the denominator 100.

3×520×5=15100 \frac{3\times5}{20\times5}=\frac{15}{100}

Let's now rewrite the simple fraction as a decimal fraction:

15.0 15.0

Since we are dividing by 100, the decimal point will move two places to the left, giving us:

.150 .150

Finally we will add 0 before the decimal point to get:

0.150=0.15 0.150=0.15

Answer

0.15
