Simplify the Fraction: Finding the Equivalent Value of 15/25

Question

Which number is equal to 1525 \frac{15}{25} ?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by a number that will help us reach 100 in the denominator:

15×425×4=60100 \frac{15\times4}{25\times4}=\frac{60}{100}

Then we'll rewrite the simple fraction as a decimal:

60.0 60.0

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

.600 .600

We will finally add the 0 before the decimal point to get our answer:

0.600=0.6 0.600=0.6

Answer

0.6
