South America's total population was 515,000,000 and the world's total population was 6,279,000,000. What percentage was South America rounded to the nearest tenth?
515,000,000/6,279,000,000
Dont get intimidated by large numbers. Plug that into a calculator to find the answer. I don't know if that number fits into a calculator to be honest.
it does it turns out: 1.8458...
My calculator says 0.08
Which rounds to .1
you're right...i forgot the '6' in the '6279000000' sry
Chopsticks -- you forgot to convert your answer to a percent.
Oh.
.1 = 10%
shouldn't you convert .08?
The problem states to the nearest tenth.
8.2%
