What is 1/1 of 60?

How to calculate 1/1 of 60?

1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: 60 × 1 = 60
2. Divide this result by denominator of the fraction: 60/1 = 60

How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 1/1 of 60, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{1}{1}=\frac{x}{60}$ (where x represents 1/1 of 60)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $1\times 60=1x$
2. Which gives: $60=1x$
3. Divide both sides by 1 to isolate x: $\frac{60}{1}=\frac{1x}{1}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{60}{1}=x$

Thus, 1/1 of 60 is equal to 60/1 (or 60 in its decimal form).
