3/5 is not thirty percent! to get 3/5 into percents you must get the bottom number to100. That would then mean 20 times 5 is one hundred. You then take 20 and multiply it also times twenty and you get 60. So 3/5 is the same as 60/100 which is sixty percent. Thirty percent would then be determined by takin 30/100 and dividing down into the smallest fraction possible which you would divide the top and the botton by ten to remove the zeros and you would have 3/10 and three is a Prime number so that's as low as you can go. So... three tenths is thiry percent and two fifths is sixty percent. Hope I explained that so you can understand not just get an answer

note : 2/5 is NOT 60 %, it's 40 %

In brief,

3/5 = 6/10 = 60/100 = 60 %
