Solve the Fraction Problem: Finding the Value of 60/300

Question

Which number is equal to $\frac{60}{300}$ ?

00:00 Convert to decimal fraction

00:03 Convert the fraction to a fraction with denominator of 100

00:07 Make sure to divide both numerator and denominator

00:14 When the denominator equals 100, the numerator is the decimal number

00:22 When dividing by 100, the decimal point moves two places to the left

00:31 And this is the solution to the question

Let's divide both the numerator and the denominator by a number that will help us make the denominator 100:

$\frac{60:3}{300:3}=\frac{20}{100}$

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

$20.0$

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

$.20$

Finally we will add the 0 before the decimal point to get:

$0.20=0.2$

0.2
