The bot got it wrong,
60% = 60/100 = 3/5
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct, 60% is equal to 3/5. Thank you for correcting me.
To determine which of the given numbers is equivalent to 60%, we need to compare them and find the one that represents the same value.
First, let's convert 60% into decimal form. To do this, we divide 60 by 100:
60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
Now let's examine the given options:
1. 6/100: This is equivalent to 6% since 6 is the numerator and 100 is the denominator. Since we are looking for 60%, this option is not equivalent.
2. 0.06: This is equivalent to 6% in decimal form. Since we are looking for 60%, this option is not equivalent.
3. 3/5: This is a fraction representation. To convert it to a percentage, we can divide the numerator by the denominator and then multiply by 100:
(3 ÷ 5) × 100 = 60%
Therefore, 3/5 is equivalent to 60%.
4. 60/1000: This is a fraction representation. Again, we can convert it to a percentage by dividing the numerator by the denominator and multiplying by 100:
(60 ÷ 1000) × 100 = 6%
Therefore, 60/1000 is equivalent to 6%, not 60%.
In conclusion, the number that is equivalent to 60% is 3/5.
