What is 1/60 as a percentage? It is 1.67%. This small percentage shows how a tiny part of a whole can be expressed both as a fraction and as a percent.
The fraction 1/60 means one piece out of sixty equal parts. When you see it in real life, think of something like a minute divided into seconds—one second is 1/60 of a minute.
Because the percentage is so low, 1/60 is often used to describe very small changes, like a slight increase in interest rates or a minor error margin in measurements.
Remember, whether you write it as 1/60 or 1.67%, you’re talking about the same tiny portion of a whole.
