Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 10% of a number, we first convert 10% to a decimal. 10% is equivalent to $0.1$ (since $10\%=\frac{10}{100} = 0.1$).

Step2: Multiply by total number of beads

We know the total number of beads is 60. To find the number of blue beads, we multiply the total number of beads by the decimal equivalent of the percentage. So we calculate $60\times0.1$.
$60\times0.1 = 6$

Answer:

6
