The Hofman River is 353.4 miles long.

Explanation:

We want to know what number is 76% of 465.

"What number" is the variable (usually x).

"Is" means equals.

"Percent" means out of 100.

"Of" means multiplication.

x = (76/100) · 465

x = 353.4

The Hofman River is 353.4 miles long.

Answer 2

353.4 m

Explanation:

length of Morgan river = 465 m

length of Hofman river = 465 * 75/100 m

465/100 = 4.65

4.65 * 76 = 353.4
