Randall needs to pour 0.60 milliliters of a liquid for his science class. The beaker only has markings for fractions.

Question

Which fraction shows how many milliliters of the liquid Randall needs to pour into the beaker?

Answer 1

To convert 0.60 milliliters into a fraction, we can express it as $\frac{60}{100}$ since 0.60 is equivalent to 60 out of 100.

Next, we simplify $\frac{60}{100}$. We do this by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20:

$$\frac{60÷20}{100÷20}=\frac{3}{5}$$

Thus, the fraction that shows how many milliliters of the liquid Randall needs to pour into the beaker is $\frac{3}{5}$.
