The answer is:  " 3:5" ; or, write as:  "3/5<span>" .
</span>___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
  "60%" =  60/100  = 60 ÷ 100" ;  so take:  "60" ; and move the decimal back
TWO (2) places (since "100" has "two zeros" ; and since we are DIVIDING) ;

Note: Since we are "dividing"; we move the decimal BACK (to the LEFT). 

→ that is:  treat "60" as: "60." ;  and move the "implied decimal" back two spaces;   to get:  "0.60"  ;  which simplies to:  "0.6" ; 

→ 0.6 = 6/10 ; which reduces:  "6/10 = (6÷2)/(10÷2) = 3/5 ; or, write as:  "3:5".
_______________________________________________________
Other methods:
________________________________________________________
 "60%" =  60/100 ;  cancel out 'one zero' from both the numerator and the denominator; which is the same as:  "60/100 = (60÷10)/(100÷10) = 6/10 ;  Then reduce to:  "3/5"; or write as: "3:5" ; as explained above.
________________________________________________________
Other method:  Use calculator:  "60%" to get: "0.6" and write as "6/10" and—as aforementioned— reduce to: "3/5" (unless your calculator does not automatically include this fraction mode as well); and write the answer as:  "3/5" ; or "3:5" .

    → Alternately, using a calculator:  "60 ÷ 100" ;  and follow through using the directly aforementioned method—as well as the aforementioned methods, if needed; to ultimately get: "0.6" —which equals: "6/10"—and ultimately get:                   "3/5" ; or, write as:  "3:5" .

Hope this explanation, albeit lengthy, is helpful

Select each equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25.
krek1111 [17]

The equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25 are x • 1.6 = 25, 0.6 • 25 = x and x/25=60//100

Percentages can be expressed as decimals or fractions.

Given the expression 60% of 25, this can b expressed as:

  • 60% of 25 = x

where x is the result of the expression.

  • 60/100 * 25 = x

Expressing 60% as a decimal will give;

0.6 of 25  = x

0.6 * 25 = x

From the expression 60/100 * 25 = x, this can also be written as:

25 = 100/60 x

25 = 10/6 x

25 = 1.6x

Hence the equation which is equivalent to 60% of 25 are x • 1.6 = 25, 0.6 • 25 = x and x/25=60//100
