%

Answer 1

To find the percentage of pages that have diagrams in a book with 650 pages where 3 pages contain diagrams, we can use the formula for percentage:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of pages with diagrams}}{\text{Total number of pages}} \right) \times 100 \]

Substituting the values we have:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{3}{650} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating this:

1. First, calculate the fraction:

\[ \frac{3}{650} \approx 0.004615384615 \]

2. Now, multiply this by 100 to convert it to a percentage:

\[ 0.004615384615 \times 100 \approx 0.4615384615 \]

3. Rounding this to the nearest hundredth of a percent:

\[ 0.4615384615 \approx 0.46 \]

Thus, the percentage of pages in the book that have diagrams is approximately:

\[ \boxed{0.46} \]
