by? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
1 minutes
?

Answer 1

66.2 is the answer hope that helps !

Answer 2

Basically, we have to find out what 72% of 92 minutes is. A way to do this is turn 92 minutes into a decimal: 92 / 100 = 0.92 and then multiply the decimal by 72: 0.92 x 72 = 66.24 minutes. Rounding to the nearest tenth, however, changes the number to 66.2 minutes. Hope this helps!
