Answer:

30.8 megabytes

Explanation:

We know that 12.5% of the 246 megabytes have been downloaded.

Of, means multiply. Therefore, we must multiply 12.5% and 246.

12.5%*246

Convert 12.5% to a decimal. Divide 12.5 by 100, or move the decimal place two spots to the left.

12.5/100=0.125

12.5–> 1.25 —> 0.125

0.125*246

Multiply

30.75

We need to round to the nearest tenth. The 5 in the hundredth place indicates that we must round the 7 in the tenth place up to a 8.

30.8

30.8 megabytes have been downloaded.
