How to work it out

1
A fraction is a division. Divide the top number 3 by the bottom number 5.
$\frac{3}{5} = 3 \div 5$
2
5 does not go into 3 even once, so the whole part is 0 and we carry on after the decimal point.
3
Long division: bring down a zero each time (multiply the remainder by 10), divide by 5, and write the digit. The remainder reaches 0 after 1 step, so the decimal ends.
4
The result is
$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$
