About 0.350 of s stretch of forest is being cleared of timber. If the stretch of forest is divided into hundredths, how many hundredths are being cleared? Can you help me solve this question?
.01 times .350
As I read the question, the stretch is being divided into 35 parcels, each one hundredth of the original plot of .350. There are 35 hundredths in the original plot.
To solve this question, you need to multiply the decimal representation of the percentage (0.350) by the number of parts the stretch of forest is divided into, which is one hundredth (0.01).
To find the answer, multiply 0.01 by 0.350:
0.01 * 0.350 = 0.0035
Therefore, 0.0035, or 0.35%, of the stretch of forest is being cleared.
