55/55 + 5=6
i.e. 55divided by 55=1
now 1+5=6
so totally i have used five 5's and got 6 finaly.

make five 5's equal to 6 using decimals.
5 + (55/55)= 6
i.e 55 divided by 55 is 1
now 5 + 1 = 6
so totally we have used five 5's and got 6 finally

Q.make five 5's equal to 6 using decimals.

all the above reply seems good , but i had an other solution,
that includes five 5's & each five is separated by some mathematical operater, here it is

(5*5)/(5*5) + 5
25 / 25 + 5
1 + 5

= "6"

5*(5*5)/(5*5)= 5 + 1 = 6
