Please help me guys

Answer 1

Answer: 22.32

Step-by-step explanation:

$46\ \frac{1}{2}\%$ is a mixed number.

First we transform this mixed number to its decimal form.

The mixed number has 2 parts, an integer part and a decimal part. In this case the integer part is 46 and the decimal part is "$\frac{1}{2}$"

Therefore $46\ \frac{1}{2}\%$ is the same as:$(46+\frac{1}{2})\%=46.5\%$

To calculate 46.5% of 48 we must multiply 48 by 0.465 as shown below:

$48*0.465 =22.32$

Finally we have that the  46.5% of 48 is 22.32
