Need help please. 183 1/3% of 4800
Multiply.
1.83333 * 4800 = ?
I got 8799.984 or should I just round it to 8800?
Yes. Round to 8800. By using a decimal equivalent instead of the fraction, the answer is going to be off by a very small amount.
Thanks Ms. Sue for your help.
You're welcome, Ron.
Ms Sue, can you check to see if this correct.
From -40 take -55, the answer I came to is 15, is this correct?

To calculate 183 1/3% of 4800, you need to convert the percentage to a decimal and then multiply it by 4800. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal.
To convert 183 1/3% to a decimal, you divide it by 100.
183 1/3% = 183 1/3 / 100
To convert the mixed number (183 1/3) to an improper fraction, you multiply the whole number (183) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (1). Then, you put the sum over the denominator.
183 1/3 / 100 = (183*3 + 1) / 3 / 100
= (549 + 1) / 3 / 100
= 550 / 3 / 100
= 550 / 300
So, 183 1/3% as a decimal is 550/300.
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by 4800.
To find 183 1/3% of 4800, you multiply the decimal (550/300) by 4800.
(550/300) * 4800
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together, and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
(550 * 4800) / (300)
Now, you can calculate this expression:
(550 * 4800) / 300 = 2,200,000 / 300 = 7333.33
Therefore, 183 1/3% of 4800 is approximately 7333.33.
