The correcting answer is - Since 5/6 is a repeating decimal, Miguel should convert the decimal -0.6 to a fraction and multiply the fractions.
Fractions represent the parts of a whole or collection of objects.
A fraction has two parts. The number on the top of the line is called the numerator and the number on the top of the line is called the denominator.
Now the given mixed fraction is,
-0.6(5/6)
Now since 5/6 is a repeating decimal,
Therefore converting 0.6 into fraction, we get
0.6 = 6/10
Therefore, -0.6(5/6) = -(6/10)*(5/6)
Rearranging we get,
-0.6(5/6) = -(6/6)*(5/10)
⇒ -0.6(5/6) = -1*(5/10)
or, -0.6(5/6) = -(5/10)
simplifying 5/10 we get,
-0.6(5/6) = -(1/2)
Thus, the correcting answer is - Since 5/6 is a repeating decimal, Miguel should convert the decimal -0.6 to a fraction and multiply the fractions.
