To write 60% as a fraction, you can start by expressing the percentage as a fraction over 100:
\[ 60% = \frac{60}{100} \]
Next, simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20:
\[ \frac{60 \div 20}{100 \div 20} = \frac{3}{5} \]
So, 60% as a simplified fraction is \(\frac{3}{5}\).
As a mixed number or whole number, 60% can be expressed as:
\[ 60% = 0.60 \]
This is equivalent to \(\frac{60}{100}\) or \(\frac{3}{5}\), and there is no whole number or mixed number representation since 60% is less than 100% and more than 0%.
In summary:
- As a fraction: \(\frac{3}{5}\)
- As a mixed number or whole number: It remains 60% or is equivalent to 0.6.
