Express the Decimal: Write 6.2 in Different Forms

Look at the decimal place! If the digit is in the tenths place (first after decimal), use 10. If it's in the hundredths place (second after decimal), use 100.

Because $5\frac{2}{100} = 5.02$, not 6.2! The whole number part must stay the same, and $\frac{2}{100}$ equals 0.02, not 0.2.

You can simplify $\frac{2}{10}$ to $\frac{1}{5}$, but keep it as $\frac{2}{10}$ if the problem asks for tenths or if answer choices use tenths.

Count the decimal places! 6.25 has 2 decimal places (hundredths), so it becomes $6\frac{25}{100}$. More places = bigger denominator.

Convert your mixed number back to decimal: $6\frac{2}{10} = 6 + 0.2 = 6.2$. If it matches the original, you're correct!
