The answer would be 0.7 since we can say that 3/5 of 100 makes 60 while 0.7 is 70 which means that 0.7 has more.

To compare the two, you either have to convert both to decimals or both to fractions.

To convert 0.7 to a fraction, remember that 0.7 is 7/10. To compare 7/10 to 3/5, they must have the same denominator. 3/5 * 2/2 (since 2/2 is basically 1 and anything times 1 equals itself) = 6/10. Since 7/10 > 6/10, 0.7 is greater.

To convert 3/5 to a decimal, remember that 3/5 = 6/10 (what we did in the last part). 6/10 = 0.6. Since 0.7 > 0.6, that means 0.7 is greater than 3/5.

Your answer is 0.7 is greater.
