* Understanding Decimeters: A decimeter is one-tenth of a meter (1 dm = 0.1 m).

* Conversion: Since 1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters, 6 decimeters is equal to 6/10 of a meter.

* Fraction out of 100: To express this as a fraction out of 100, we need to find an equivalent fraction where the denominator is 100. We can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10:

(6/10) * (10/10) = 60/100

Therefore, 6 decimeters is equal to 60/100.
