What is 60/9 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 60/9 as a decimal is

6.6

≈ 6.67 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: 6/9 = 2/3 · denominator 3 has the factor 3, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 6 — it repeats forever

60 = 6 × 9 + 6: whole part 6, then divide the remainder 6

remainder	×10	= digit × 9 + new remainder	digit
6	60	6 × 9 + 6	6

Remainder 6 is back after the 1st division → the digit 6 repeats forever: 0.6.

6 + 0.6 = 6.6
