Convert 60% to:

a fraction and a decimal:

Decimal Conversion

A percentage is a number expressed in terms of it's relation to 100.

It is a number divided by 100.
We need to get to our original number.

Multiply our percentage by 100

This is the same as moving the decimal point to the right 2 places.

The first move to the right gives us 600.
The second decimal place move gives us 60

Fraction Conversion

Percentage  =	60
	100

Using our Greatest Common Factor (GCF) (60, 100) = 20

Reducing the numerator and denominator of 60/100 by our GCF of 20,
we get the following reduced fraction:

Fraction = 3/5

Calculate the decimal of the percentage

Dividing by 100 means shift the decimal point 2 places to the left.

Shift 60 one decimal place to the left, we get --> 6

Shift 6 another decimal place to the left, we get --> 0.6

Check to see if 0.6 is a terminating decimal:

A terminating decimal is one that ends

Since the decimals 6 does not repeat,
this is a terminating decimal
