To find the expressions that are equivalent to 5.9, we need to simplify each expression:

1. 59 ÷ 10 = 5.9 (This is equivalent)
2. 59 ÷ 10 = 5.9 (This is another equivalent)
3. 590 ÷ 10 = 59 (Not equivalent)
4. 590 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 = 59 ÷ 10 = 5.9 (This is equivalent)
5. 5,900 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 = 590 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 = 59 ÷ 10 = 5.9 (This is equivalent)
6. 5,900 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 = 590 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 = 59 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 = 5.9 (This is equivalent)

Therefore, the three expressions that are equivalent to 5.9 are:

– 59 ÷ 10

– 59 ÷ 10

– 590 ÷ 10 ÷ 10

– 5,900 ÷ 10 ÷ 10

– 5,900 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10
