For this case we have:
0.3 can be rewritten as [tex]\frac {3} {10}[/tex]
0.06 can be rewritten as[tex]\frac {6} {100}[/tex]
If we want to divide 0.3 by 0.06, we can do it in the following equivalent way:
[tex]\frac {\frac {3} {10}} {\frac {6} {100}}[/tex]
So:
[tex]\frac {\frac {3} {10}} {\frac {6} {100}} =\\\frac {100 * 3} {10 * 6} =\\\frac {300} {60} =\\\frac {30} {6} = 5[/tex]
Thus, when dividing 0.3 by 0.06, the number 5 is obtained as a result
Answer:
5
