The fraction \( \frac{3}{5} \) equivalent to what percent? \( \frac{3}{5}=\square \% \)

To convert the fraction \( \frac{3}{5} \) to a percent, you can multiply it by 100. So, \( \frac{3}{5} \times 100 = 60 \). Therefore, \( \frac{3}{5} = 60\% \). You can also think of it this way: the fraction represents a part of a whole. In this case, \( 3 \) parts out of \( 5 \) total parts means that \( 3 \) out of every \( 5 \) is indeed \( 60\% \) of the whole set. Percent means "per hundred," so you're finding out how many slices out of a hundred you would get!
