Solution

To solve the showtime part (?), compare the numerator and denominator of both the fractions.

It can be observed that the denominator of the first fraction 5 is multiplied by ii to become 10.

Similarly, two has to exist multiplied by the numerator also to proceed the value of the fraction unaltered.

$$\frac{\mathbf3\boldsymbol\times\mathbf2}{\mathbf5\boldsymbol\times\mathbf2}\boldsymbol=\frac{\mathbf6}{\mathbf{ten}}$$

The fractions that are obtained past multiplying the same values to the numerator and denominator are called equivalent fractions.

To find the second blank, write the fraction in decimal form.
The number of zeros that follow ane in the denominator is the number of decimal digits to exist moved in the numerator to the left.

Here our denominator is 10 which has one cipher. Hence move i decimal point in the numerator to the right.

$$\frac{\mathbf6}{\mathbf{ten}}\boldsymbol=\mathbf0\boldsymbol.\mathbf6$$

Alternatively, the fraction can too be converted to decimal form past dividing the numerator by the denominator using the long division method.

Here the numerator half-dozen is the dividend and the denominator 10 is the divisor.

Carry out the sectionalisation, past placing a decimal in the caliber and adding 0 to the dividend.

Hence the decimal form is 0.6.
