What decimal value corresponds to the fraction 6/8?

0.85
0.75
0.65
0.80

The correct answer is: 0.75

To determine the decimal value that corresponds to the fraction 6/8, you first simplify the fraction. Both the numerator (6) and the denominator (8) can be divided by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. When you simplify 6/8 by dividing both by 2, you get 3/4. Next, to convert the fraction 3/4 into a decimal, you divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4). Performing this division, 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75. This process shows that the decimal value corresponding to the fraction 6/8 is indeed 0.75, validating the choice.
