0.6 percent
To start, the percent means "per one hundred".
so divide by 100:
0.6/100=0.006
The third place to the right of the decimal is 1000ths,
so put the number over 1000:
006/1000 Leading zeroes dont count, so:
6/1000=3/500
.
You can put 06 over 10 and have 6/10 percent or 3/5 percent
Then to clear the percent sign, divide by 100:
6/1000=3/500
Same answer.
