Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 6/10
• 0.6
• 60%

Explanation:

6 of the 10 bars are shaded, so the shaded area is 6/10 of the whole.

"Six tenths" as a decimal is 0.6, that is, a number with 6 in the tenths place.

To convert the number to a percent, multiply either the fraction or the decimal by 100%.

0.6 × 100% = 60%
