Convert Mixed Number: Simplifying 6 3/50 to Decimal Form

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Convert the fraction part $\frac{3}{50}$ to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
• Step 2: Express this fraction as a decimal.
• Step 3: Add this decimal to the whole number 6 to get the final result.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Convert $\frac{3}{50}$ to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.

Since $\frac{3}{50}$, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 to make the denominator 100:

$\frac{3}{50} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{6}{100}$.

Step 2: Express that fraction as a decimal.

The fraction $\frac{6}{100}$ can be directly written as $0.06$ because a denominator of 100 corresponds to "hundredths."

Step 3: Combine the decimal with the whole number.

The original mixed number $6\frac{3}{50}$ now becomes:

$6 + 0.06 = 6.06$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $6.06$.
