Question

Which number is equal to 60300 \frac{60}{300} ?

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's divide both the numerator and the denominator by a number that will help us make the denominator 100:

60:3300:3=20100 \frac{60:3}{300:3}=\frac{20}{100}

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

20.0 20.0

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

.20 .20

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

0.20=0.2 0.20=0.2

Answer

0.2
