Question 27

3/5 converts to a decimal as 0.6.

To convert the fraction 3/5 into a decimal, you divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (5), resulting in 0.6.

A) 0.06

This option is incorrect because it represents a value that is significantly smaller than 3/5. The decimal equivalent of 3/5 is 0.6, not 0.06.

B) 0.6

This option is correct as it accurately represents the decimal conversion of the fraction 3/5. Dividing 3 by 5 yields 0.6, confirming this choice.

C) 3.5

This option is incorrect because it is a whole number plus a decimal that does not correspond to 3/5. It exceeds the value of 3/5, which is less than 1.

D) 1.6

This option is also incorrect since it represents a value greater than 1. The fraction 3/5, when converted to a decimal, is much less than 1, specifically 0.6.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 0.6, accurately reflects the decimal conversion of the fraction 3/5. All other options either misrepresent the value or are entirely unrelated to the correct conversion. Thus, option B is definitively the right choice.
