%

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:

\[
\boxed{0.46}
\]
