3/5

We can use the percent proportion to rewrite the given percent as a fraction in simplest form. The percent proportion is a proportion that equates a part of a whole to a percent out of 100. part/whole=percent/100 ⇔ a/b=p/100 By substituting p= 60 into the formula, we can determine the fraction that is equivalent to 60 %.

a/b=p/100
a/b=60/100
a/b=3/5

Therefore, 60 % is the same as 35.
