To express 60% as a fraction, we need to write it as a fraction with a denominator of 100.

First, we observe that 60% can be written as 60/100 since it represents 60 for every 100.

Then, we need to simplify this fraction to its lowest terms:

By dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20, we get:

60/100 = (60 ÷ 20) / (100 ÷ 20) = 3/5

Thus, 60% can be written as the fraction 3/5.
