Hey there!
For this problem and problems like these, it's easier just to draw everything out. Once you get the hang of envisioning these drawings in your mind, you won't have to, but when you're starting out on problems like these, it's best to draw yourself little representations of the situation and label everything accordingly.
I have attached such a diagram. Basically, I calculated 40% of 60 inches, then calculated 75% of 40% of 60 inches. Hope my drawing helps you see the situation a little better.
Keep in mind that in order to multiply a whole number by a percentage, you need to convert it to a decimal. As an example, 40% will be converted to 0.40, or just 0.4.
Hope this helped you out!
The bus traveled 216 miles in 4 hours
this is because 648/12 is 54 miles per hour
54 times 4 is 216
If you divide 61 by 66, you will get .9242424. The thousandths place is the third number, so you base it off of the four number. If the fourth number is under 5, the third number stays the same and all numbers after it disappear. If the number is above 5, the third number rounds up 1 and the rest disappear. Because the 3rd number is 4 and the 4th number is 2, you will get the answer of .924
Sharing = division. 16 divided by four is four. Now, each person gets a fourth so a fourth of four is 1/4. Each person gets 1/4.
