You can do this a number of ways.
The first way is to set up a proportion. That's very formal, and is most respected.

Proportion.
x / 60 = 1 / 10 The proportion is reduced by a factor of 10. Cross Multiply.
10 * x = 60 * 1 
10x = 60  Divide by 10
x = 60/10 
x = 6

Multiply by the scale factor.
Beginning number * scale factor = Final result.
60 * 1/10  = Final Result
60 * 1 / 10 = Final Result
Final Result = 6

This method words even when the numbers are quite complicated.
