2.1 Express \( \frac{3}{5} \) as a percentage

To express \( \frac{3}{5} \) as a percentage, you can multiply the fraction by 100. So, \( \frac{3}{5} \times 100 = 60 \). Thus, \( \frac{3}{5} \) is equivalent to 60%. One fun way to remember this is to think of it as portions of a pizza! If you have a pizza cut into 5 equal slices and you get to eat 3 of those, that’s 60% of the pizza. Now, who wouldn't want to gobble up 60% of a pizza? 🍕
