Question

How do you write 60% as a fraction?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 60% can be written as `60/100`.

We can reduce this fraction as:

`60/100 = (20 xx 3)/(20 xx 5) = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(20))) xx 3)/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(20))) xx 5) = 3/5`
