Answer:

48.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are using percentages, what we are really saying is that the percentage is a fraction of 100. "Percent" means per hundred, and so 50% is the same as saying 50/100 or 5/10 in fraction form.

So, since our denominator in 29/60 is 60, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 ÷ 60 = 1.6666666666667

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:

29 x 1.6666666666667

60 x 1.6666666666667

=  

48.333333333333

100

Now we can see that our fraction is 48.333333333333/100, which means that 29/60 as a percentage is 48.3333%.
