6 divided by 60 equals 10.00% when expressed as a percentage. This is the simplest way to see how the fraction relates to a whole.
The fraction 6/60 can also be reduced to 1/10, which makes it easy to understand that it represents one part out of ten equal parts. That same idea is why the percentage comes out to ten percent.
In everyday terms, if you had a pizza cut into ten equal slices, taking one slice would be the same as taking 10 % of the pizza. It’s a quick way to visualize the size of the portion.
Remember, the percentage format is useful when you want to compare parts of different wholes, because it always refers back to a base of 100. This makes the 10 % figure easy to work with in many situations.
