A fraction is the same thing as a division, where the numerator is divided by the denominator. So:
3/500 = 0.006
However, a percentage is the first two decimal places of a decimal, up to the hundredths place. Just move the decimal point two places to the right. So the percentage is:

A fraction is the same thing as a division, where the numerator is divided by the denominator. So:
3/500 = 0.006
However, a percentage is the first two decimal places of a decimal, up to the hundredths place. Just move the decimal point two places to the right. So the percentage is:
0.6%
3/500 = .006
to get percent multiply it by 100
.006(100)= .6
so you have .6 percent
3/500 = x/100
cross multiply: 500x = 300
so x = 300/500 = 3/5 % which is 0.6 %
~~~
This is 3/5 of 1/00. We know that 1/100 is 1% so your answer is:
0.6%
3/500=0.006=0.6%
