How do you write 3/5 as a percent?
See a solution process below:
Explanation:
Percent or % means out of 100 or per 100, Therefore x% can be
written as %x/100%.We can then rewrite this as:%3/5 =
x/100%%color(red)(100) * 3/5 = color(red)(100) * x/100%%300/5 =
cancel(color(red)(100)) * x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100)))%%60 =
x%%x = 60%%3/5 = 60/100 = 60%%
%60%%<h4
class=answerHeader>Explanation: To write a fraction as a
percent:%fraction x 100% larr 100%=100/100 =1%%=3/5 x 100%%%=(3/cancel5
x cancel100^20)%%%=60%%
Slightly different way of thinking about it!60%
or %60/100%
Explanation:
%color(blue)(Preamble)%A percentage is basically just another fraction.
However it is of specific format in that the bottom number (denominator) is
fixed at 100If you like; the % symbol can be compared to the function of a
unit of measurement. Just as a unit of measurement is specific in what it
means then so is %. It means %1/100%So for example:
%2%color(white)(d)->color(white)(d)
2x%color(white)(d)->color(white)(d)2x1/100color(white)(d)->color(white)(d)2/100%Note
that the multiply sign is a bit like the word of. In that for example: 2 of
6 is %6+6 =2x6=12%so 2% is 2 of percent %->1/100+1/100
=2x1/100=2/100%

%color(blue)(Answering
your question)%Given: %3/5%We need to change this in such a way that the
actual value is the same but it looks different. In that the bottom number
becomes 100.Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes
in many
forms.%color(green)(3/5color(red)(x1)color(white)(dd)->color(white)(ddd)3/5color(red)(x20/20))%%color(white)(ddddddd)->color(white)(ddd)(3x20)/(5x20)%%color(white)(ddddddd)->color(white)(dddd)60/100%
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This
is the same as
%60x1/100color(white)(d)->color(white)(d)60x%color(white)(d)->60%%
