A hydraulic fluid tank is \( \frac{3}{5} \) full. How would you express the amount of fluid in the tank as a whole-number percentage? The tank is percent full.

To express the amount of fluid in the tank as a whole-number percentage, we can follow these steps: 1. **Understand the fraction**: The tank is \( \frac{3}{5} \) full. This means that out of 5 equal parts of the tank, 3 parts are filled with fluid. 2. **Convert the fraction to a percentage**: To convert a fraction to a percentage, we multiply the fraction by 100. \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{3}{5} \right) \times 100 \] 3. **Perform the calculation**: \[ \text{Percentage} = \frac{3 \times 100}{5} \] \[ \text{Percentage} = \frac{300}{5} = 60 \] Thus, the tank is 60% full.
