_______________________________________________________
Given: "60/100" ; What is the simplest form?

We can "divide each side by ten" by "canceling out the ending zero from both the numerator and the denominator; to get "6/10" ; then, we can further simplify by dividing BOTH the numerator AND THE denominator by "2" ;
______________________________________
6/10 = (6÷2) / (10÷2) = 3/5 ; or ⅗ .
______________________________________

Alternately: 60/100 = 0.6 (using calculator); and:

0.6 = 6/10 (that is; "six-tenths") = 6/10 = (6÷2) / (10÷2) = 3/5 ; or ⅗ .
