Question

A file that is 242 megabytes is being downloaded. If the download is 17.1% complete, how many megabytes have been downloaded? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

4.1 megabytes

Explanation:

well we use the rule of three

242 megabytes ------- 100%

x megabytes -------- 17.1%

(x megabytes)(100%)=(242 megabytes)(17.1%)

`x=(242*17.1)/(100) \\\\x=(4138.2)/(100) \\\\x=4.1382\\\\x=4.1`

so there have been downloaded 4.1 megabytes
