im not sure

\[\frac{ 30 }{ 100 }\rightarrow biography\] \[\frac{ 50 }{ 100 }\rightarrow mystery\] \[\frac{ 20 }{ 100 }\rightarrow science\] multiply all that together.. \[\frac{ 30 }{ 100 }\times \frac{ 50 }{ 100 }\times \frac{ 20 }{ 100 }=\frac{ 30 }{ 100 }\] and if you had to change\[\frac{ 30 }{ 100 }\]it would be \[0.3\] ☺

OpenStudy (anonymous):
