To write 6/60 in simplest form, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator, which is 6. Then, you divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD to simplify the fraction. Dividing 6 by 6 gives 1, and dividing 60 by 6 gives 10. So, 6/60 simplified is 1/10.
