You can put this solution on YOUR website! This question tests your ability to understand the equivalence of number represented as percents, decimals and fractions.
First, convert 60% to a decimal number. To do this, drop the "%" sign and divide by 100. So 60% = .60
Next, either convert each of the fractions that are the possible answer to decimals, for example 3/50 = .06
or convert .60 to a fraction in lowest terms. .60 = 60/100 = 3/5
So, 60% = .60 = 60/100 = 3/5
