What is obtained when (0.06) is converted into a simplified fraction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(\frac{3}{50}\)
Since 0.06 has two digits after the decimal point, it is first written as \(\frac{6}{100}\). The greatest common divisor of 6 and 100 is 2, so \(\frac{6}{100}=\frac{3}{50}\). Therefore, option C is correct. Remember that \(\frac{6}{10}\) equals 0.6, not 0.06.
