The question asks about the division of the numbers 0.6 and 12.9. To find 0.6 divided by 12.9, you would perform the following division step: 0.6 ÷ 12.9.
To simplify this, you can use a calculator, or you can perform long division. When using a calculator, you might encounter a long string of decimals. It's important to consider the concept of significant figures here. The number 0.6 has two significant figures, and 12.9 has three, so the quotient should have not more than two significant figures because the number of significant figures in the dividend (0.6) is the limiting factor.
Performing the division, 0.6 ÷ 12.9 yields approximately 0.0465. Again, considering significant figures, it would usually be rounded to 0.047 as that's two significant figures. However, for typical schoolwork, unless instructed otherwise, reporting to more decimal places, such as 0.0465, may be acceptable.

Dividing 0.6 by 12.9 gives approximately 0.04651, but rounding to the correct number of significant figures yields 0.05, as 0.6 has the least significant figures (1). This illustrates the importance of considering significant figures in calculations. The final answer is 0.05 .
