60% as a Fraction

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Numbers can be categorized into different types. Fractions are one of these types. A fraction is always represented in the form of p/q, where p is the numerator and q is the denominator. A fraction represents a part of a whole. Decimals also represent a fractional part of numbers, but as base-ten numbers. For example, 1/2 is a fraction, while 0.6 is a decimal. Here, we are going to learn how to convert a percentage to a fraction.

Answer

 

The answer for 60% as a fraction is 3/5.

 

Explanation

 

Converting a percentage to a fraction is a straightforward task. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Start by writing the percentage as a fraction with a denominator of 100. So, 60% becomes 60/100.

 

Step 2: Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. Here, the GCD of 60 and 100 is 20.

 

Step 3: Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD to simplify the fraction: 60/100 ÷ 20/20 = 3/5

 

Thus, 60% can be written as a fraction 3/5.
