600000 is 1/10 of "x", that means x = 10/10 or a whole, what is "x"?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&fraction\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 600000&(1)/(10)\\\\ x&(10)/(10) \end{array}\implies \cfrac{600000}{x}=\cfrac{(1)/(10)}{(10)/(10)}\implies \cfrac{600000}{x}=\cfrac{1}{10} \\\\\\ \cfrac{600000\cdot 10}{1}=x
