Question

Express each decimal as a fraction or a mixed number in its simplest form
0.2
0.6
0.5
1.2
3.6
6.8

Answer 1

Let's express each decimal as a fraction or mixed number in its simplest form:

1. **0.2**
\( 0.2 = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \)

2. **0.6**
\( 0.6 = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \)

3. **0.5**
\( 0.5 = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \)

4. **1.2**
\( 1.2 = 1 + 0.2 = 1 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \) (mixed number: \( 1 \frac{1}{5} \))

5. **3.6**
\( 3.6 = 3 + 0.6 = 3 + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{15}{5} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{18}{5} \) (mixed number: \( 3 \frac{3}{5} \))

6. **6.8**
\( 6.8 = 6 + 0.8 = 6 + \frac{8}{10} = 6 + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{30}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{34}{5} \) (mixed number: \( 6 \frac{4}{5} \))

### Summary of results:
- **0.2** = \( \frac{1}{5} \)
- **0.6** = \( \frac{3}{5} \)
- **0.5** = \( \frac{1}{2} \)
- **1.2** = \( \frac{6}{5} \) (or \( 1 \frac{1}{5} \))
- **3.6** = \( \frac{18}{5} \) (or \( 3 \frac{3}{5} \))
- **6.8** = \( \frac{34}{5} \) (or \( 6 \frac{4}{5} \))
