Convert 3/5 to a decimal.

Convert 3/5 to a decimal.

• A. 0.50
• B. 0.75
• C. 0.60
• D. 0.80

Answer: (C)

Converting a fraction to a decimal means dividing the numerator by the denominator. Here, 3 divided by 5 equals 0.6 because 5 goes into 30 six times with a remainder of 0 when you move to the decimal place, giving 0.6. Writing two decimal places gives 0.60. That matches the decimal form of 3/5, so this is the correct choice. The other numbers correspond to different fractions (0.50 is 1/2, 0.75 is 3/4, 0.80 is 4/5), not 3/5.
