Answer: 600/1000 =.6 that is the answer

or 60% when you turn the decimal to percent

Juliana Owens · Answer 2

Answer:60%

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 1000 students in total and 600 are majoring in engineering, you divide 600 by 1000 to find the percent of students majoring in engineering. (600/1000) =.6

To turn a decimal into a percent you move the decimal over 2 places making it 60%.
