Simplify the Fraction: Finding the Equivalent Value of 15/25

Which number is equal to $\frac{15}{25}$?

First let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by a number that will help us reach 100 in the denominator:

$\frac{15\times4}{25\times4}=\frac{60}{100}$

Then we'll rewrite the simple fraction as a decimal:

$60.0$

Since we are dividing by 100, the decimal point will move two places to the left, giving us:

$.600$

We will finally add the 0 before the decimal point to get our answer:

$0.600=0.6$
