Answer 1

0.6 and 3/5

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to divide 60% (percentage form) by 100, to obtain the equivalent value of the percentage in decimal form.

So, mathematically speaking:

• 60/100 =3/5 = 0.6

3/5 (fraction form) is also equivalent to 0.6 (decimal form).

In conclusion, 0.6 and 3/5 are equivalent to 60%.
