Reduce the Decimal 0.6200 to Its Simplest Fraction Form

Position matters! Zeros at the end (trailing) don't affect value: $0.62 = 0.620 = 0.6200$. But zeros elsewhere do: $0.602 ≠ 0.62$!

Trailing zeros are only the zeros at the very end, after all non-zero digits. In $0.6200$, the last two zeros are trailing because they come after the 2.

No! For whole numbers, trailing zeros matter: 620 ≠ 62. This rule only applies to decimal numbers where zeros come after the decimal point.

You can simplify $0.000$ to just $0$ since all trailing zeros after the decimal point can be removed!

Yes! $0.62$ has no trailing zeros to remove, so it's the simplest decimal form. You could convert to fraction $\frac{31}{50}$, but the question asks for decimal simplification.
