To identify the decimal and simplified fractional form of 60%, we first need to understand what percent represents.
"Percent" means "per hundred," so when we say 60%, we mean 60 per hundred. In decimal form, this can be represented by dividing 60 by 100.
Step 1: Divide 60 by 100:
60 ÷ 100 = 0.6
So the decimal form of 60% is 0.6.
Now, let's find the simplified fractional form of 0.6. To express a decimal as a fraction, we can look at the place value of the decimal.
Step 2: Identify the place value:
The number 0.6 is in the tenths place (one place after the decimal point).
Step 3: Write the decimal as a fraction:
The tenths place is one-tenth (1/10). So 0.6 can be written as 6/10.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction:
The fraction 6/10 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2.
6 ÷ 2 = 3 (numerator), and 10 ÷ 2 = 5 (denominator).
Therefore, the simplified fractional form of 0.6 is 3/5.
So the answer is option A: 0.6 and start fraction 4 over 5 end fraction is incorrect.
The correct answer is option B: 0.6 and three-fifths.
