If you want some help here, I can tell you!

60% is 60%, since the best way to find out is by converting the two numbers into percents.

You need to find out a decimal first for the second number in order to convert it to a percent. To find a decimal out of a fraction, you put the numerator in the house (I forgot what it was called) and then you put the denominator out. You divide, and you find that 1/3 is actually a repeating decimal, 0.33333333 and so on. You round to 0.34, and that's 34% since 0.34 is 34 out of 100, basically. 34% plus 60% is NOT 100%, and 100% is a whole, so that's why it isn't accurate.

Box plot gives comparison for interval of scores this is to some extent helpful to find out the percentage of students getting a range of scores

Timeplot is irrelevant here.  Dot plot will not be of much use.  

Histogram is to some extent useful as box plot

But the best one is pie chart giving easy visual comparison for various grades A, B,C,D,E and F
