Answer the following and round to one decimal place.

Answer 1

3.74

Explanation:

`5(1)/(2)%` of 68

In order to do this you need to convert 5 1/2 into a decimal!

Answer: 5.5

Explanation: 5 is a whole number and half of one unit will be 0.5

5 + 0.5 = 5.5

Then multiply 5.5 and convert 68 into "0.68"

5.5 × 0.68 = 3.74

Answer: 3.74

Answer 2

5 1/2% = 5.5% = 5.5/100 = 0.055

0.055 * 68 = 3.74
