Answer:

yes your correct but wrong

Explanation:

To find the area that's covered in corn you need to first write your fraction.

160/300

After you do that you have to turn it into a decimal.

.53333...

After that you need to turn it into a percent so your final answer will be....

53.333...%

BTW try looking to see if you need to round, normally it tells you to do that
