Answer:
3/500
Explanation:
Percent means
per hundred.
So we have the following.
0.6%=0.6 per hundred = 0.6/100
We next need to rewrite 0.6/100 so that is doesn't have a decimal in the numerator.
To do this, we multiply it by 10/10, which equals 1.
0.6/100 = 0.6/100 x 10/10 = 6/1000
(Note that we do not try to cancel when doing the multiplication.)
Our answer must be written in simplest form.
This fraction has a denominator of 1000.
So we can simplify it by focusing only on the factors 2 and 5.
In this case, we can divide both the numerator and denominator be 2.
6/1000 = 6 ÷ 2/1000 ÷ 2 = 3/500
We cannot use 2 or 5 to simplify further. So 3/500 is in simplest form.
So the answer is 3/500.
