The answer is: " 3:5" ; or, write as: "3/5<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" .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error represents the amount of percentage points that the real value can differ from the value given in the sample. The margin of error is ±3%, meaning that 50.6 (the sample value) ± 3% is the margin of error, resulting in a range of (47.6, 53.6) as our margin of error. Anything in that range can be the true proportion of voters that would vote for the ballot measure. As the range contains value both less than and greater than the 50% needed to pass, it is impossible to say, given the data, that the voters will vote yes or no to the ballot.
