Convert 6/5 to a decimal. Choose the answer below:

1. 1.02
2. 1 1/5
3. 1.2
4. 1.1

You're on the right track but not quite there. Here's how to get the correct answer:

Turn the fraction into a division problem. You now have six divided by five. How many times does five go into six? Once. You have a remainder of one. Drop a zero after the decimal. How many times does five go into 10? Twice. You are left with 1.2. See the diagram below for more explanation of long division.
