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

jeds market has a total of 26 employees. Each full time employee makes $275/ week, and each part-time employee makes $140/ week.
ollegr [7]

The number of full time employees is 17 and the number of part time employee is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let f represent the number of full time employee and p represent the number of part time employee

Total number of employees = 26

Hence we have f + p = 26

Step 2 :

Wages of full time employee  = $275

Wages of part time employee = $140

Total wages paid by Jeds = $ 5935

Hence we have 275 f + 140 p = 5935

Step 3:

Solving the equations obtained in step 1 and step 2 we have

f + p = 26, Multiplying by 275 = > 275 f + 275 p = 7150

275 f + 140 p = 5935

Subtracting equation 2 from 1 we have

135 p = 1215 => p = 9

Substituting this in f + p = 26 gives, f + 9 = 26

So f = 17

Step 4 :

Answer :

The number of full time employees is 17 and the number of part time employee is 9
