oh okay things 3/5 was a check,
To find out what percent more 3/5 is than 1/3, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the fractions to decimals.
- Divide 1 by 3: 1 ÷ 3 = 0.3333 (rounded to 4 decimal places).
- Divide 3 by 5: 3 ÷ 5 = 0.6.
Step 2: Calculate the difference.
- Subtract 0.3333 from 0.6: 0.6 - 0.3333 = 0.2667 (rounded to 4 decimal places).
Step 3: Find the percentage.
- To express the difference as a percentage, multiply it by 100: 0.2667 x 100 = 26.67%.
Therefore, 3/5 is approximately 26.67% more than 1/3.
