Using the place value chart we can see that the decimal 0.6 is six tenths, so we can write 0.6 as the fraction [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex]. Notice however that [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex] is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 10 which is 2.
