Convert 6.9 to a Simplified Fraction: Decimal to Fraction Exercise

Question

Write the following decimal fraction as an imaginary fraction and simplify:

$6.9$

00:06 Let's start by writing it as a reduced and simplified fraction.

00:11 Now, divide each digit after the decimal point by what it represents.

00:16 Then, place the correct denominator.

00:19 Don't forget to add six.

00:22 And that's the solution to our question!

Let's write the decimal fraction as a mixed fraction.

Since there is one digit after the decimal point, we'll divide 9 by 10 and add 6, as follows:

$6+\frac{9}{10}$

Since it can't be simplified further, the answer is:

$6\frac{9}{10}$

$6\frac{9}{10}$
