Question

How do you write \[60%\] as a fraction?

Answer 1

Hint: To convert the percentage to decimal we just need to divide that fractional value by \[100\]. As the percentage value is obtained by the product of \[100\] in the fractional value.

Complete step-by-step answer:
As the question says we have to convert the percentage value to fractional value:
\[Given\text{ }percentage\text{ = 60 }\!\!%\!\!\text{ }\]
And \[Fractional\text{ }value\text{ = }\dfrac{\text{Percentage}}{100}\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{60}{100}\]
Now divide the numerator and denominator both by \[10\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{10}\]
Divide the numerator and denominator by \[2\]
\[\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5}\]
Hence the converted fractional value is \[\dfrac{3}{5}\].

Note: First properly read the questions and then note down what the questions has given to us and what we have to find. Now to convert the percentage to fraction just divide the percentage by \[100\] . We have a short trick that places the decimal after two digits from the end as \[100\] has two zeroes.
When we further simplify the fraction then you will get the decimal value, though they are the same but written in different forms.
