Answer 1

One-third of the 90 students who auditioned were cast, so there were (1/3) * 90 = <<(1/3)*90=30>>30 students who were cast.
Out of the 30 students who were cast, 6 got major roles.
So the fraction that got major roles is 6/30, which simplifies to 1/5.
As a decimal, that is equal to 0.2. Answer: \boxed{0.2}.
