\]
The decimal equivalent is

Step 1 ：Change the percent to a decimal equivalent. We have \(5 \frac{9}{10} \%\).

Step 2 ：To convert a percentage to a decimal, we need to divide the percentage by 100. In this case, we first need to convert the mixed number to a decimal and then divide by 100.

Step 3 ：Convert the mixed number to a decimal: \(5.9\)

Step 4 ：Divide the decimal by 100 to get the decimal equivalent: \(\frac{5.9}{100} = 0.059\)

Step 5 ：The decimal equivalent of the percentage is approximately 0.059. However, due to the limitations of floating point arithmetic in computers, the result is not exactly 0.059 but very close to it.

Step 6 ：Final Answer: The decimal equivalent of \(5 \frac{9}{10} \%\) is approximately \(\boxed{0.059}\)
