Final answer:

5.9% is equivalent to 5.9/100 as a fraction in reduced terms.


Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a percentage to a fraction, we need to remember that 'percent' means 'per hundred'. So, 5.9% is equal to 5.9/100. To reduce this fraction to its lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 5.9 and 100 is 1, so the reduced fraction is 5.9/100.
