To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to write 6/10 as a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to 6/10 that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.


(6)/(10) =
(n)/(100)

10n = 600

÷10 ÷10

n = 60

Therefore, 6/10 is equal to 60%.

To write a fraction as a decimal, we can simply divide he numerator by the denominator. We can first simplify the fraction to 3/5.

3 ÷ 5 = 0.6

Therefore, 6/10 is equal to 0.6.
