Find the fraction of people who ate beans

The problem states that at a party attended by 60 people, \(\frac{3}{5}\) of the people ate meat, and the rest ate beans.

### Solution:

1. **Find the number of people who ate meat:**
   \[
   \text{Number of people who ate meat} = \frac{3}{5} \times 60 = 36
   \]

2. **Find the number of people who ate beans:**
   \[
   \text{Number of people who ate beans} = 60 - 36 = 24
   \]

3. **Determine the fraction of people who ate beans:**
   \[
   \text{Fraction of people who ate beans} = \frac{24}{60} = \frac{2}{5}
   \]

### Answer:
The fraction of people who ate beans is \(\frac{2}{5}\).
