First we check whether
(3)/(5) is equivalent to
(6)/(10)

(3*2)/(5*2) =
(6)/(10)

Both top and bottom are multiplied by 2 to get
(6)/(10)

So they are equivalent fractions.

Now we check whether
(6)/(10) is equivalent to
(60)/(100)

(6*10)/(10*10) =
(60)/(100)

Both top and bottom are multiplied by 10 to get
(60)/(100)

So they are equivalent fractions.

(3)/(5) =
(6)/(10) =
(60)/(100)

Hence we conclude that they are equivalent fractions.
