You haven't given the number of rooms.
Multiply 408 times 9/17

Hint: since 9/17 is a little more than 1/2, you're looking for a number that's a little more than half of 408.

Is my answer to that 2nd question 221/17? I think I did something wrong.

When you multiply fractions, first multiply the numerators.
408 * 9 = 3672
Then multiply the denominators.
1 * 17 = 17
408 times 9/17 = 3,672/17
Divide:
3,672/17 = 216
Yes! 216 is a little more than half of 408.
408 * 9 = 3672
Then multiply the denominators.
1 * 17 = 17
408 times 9/17 = 3,672/17
Divide:

Yes! 216 is a little more than half of 408.
