To convert a decimal to a fraction, we write the digits to the right of the decimal point as the numerator and the place value as the denominator. Since there are two digits to the right of the decimal point, the denominator will be $10^2=100$. Thus, $0.24=\frac{24}{100}=\frac{6}{25}$ after simplification. Choice A is incorrect because it is not simplified (we can divide the numerator and denominator by 2 to get $\frac{12}{5}$). Choice B is incorrect because it is not equivalent ($\frac{6}{15}=\frac{2}{5}$ which is not the same as $0.24$). Choice C is incorrect because it is not simplified and does not match the decimal value.
