Question

Is 3/5 equivalent to 71%

Answer 1

3/5 is not equivalent to 71%

We have to try and get the denominator 100 so you can find percentage. Because percentage is out of 100.

Step 1) Multiply Top and Bottom

3/5 *20/20

Step 2) Convert to percentage or decimal

60/100 => 60%

To convert a fraction to a percentage, multiply by 100% , that is

`(3)/(5)` × 100% = 0.6 × 100% = 60% ≠ 71%
