Find this number to the nearest tenth.

What number is 11 1/3 of 215?

Answer 1

Can you write this quastion in words? What number is eleven and a third of 215? Is it eleven and one third percent? I don't know what you mean.

Answer 2

Yes,It's 11 1/3 %

Answer 3

You can use a proportion: 215 is 100%
x is 11 1/3%

215/100 = x/(11 1/3)
Cross multiply:
100x = 215(11 1/3), but 11 1/3 = 34/3 so
100x = 215 x 34/3
100x = 7310/3
x = 7310/300
Simplify
x = 731/30
