A file that is 258 megabytes is being downloaded. If the download is 19.1% complete, how many megabytes have been downloaded? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To find out how many megabytes have been downloaded, we can calculate 19.1% of 258 megabytes.

First, convert the percentage to decimal form:

\[ \text{Decimal} = \frac{19.1}{100} = 0.191 \]

Next, multiply this decimal by the total file size:

\[ \text{Downloaded megabytes} = 0.191 \times 258 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ 0.191 \times 258 \approx 49.278 \]

Now, we round 49.278 to the nearest tenth:

\[ 49.3 \]

Thus, approximately 49.3 megabytes have been downloaded.
