An expression that is equal to that question is 5/3 as a fraction or the solution times 3.
If it finished at 1:33 it would’ve started at 12:30
But if it finished at 16:17 (4:17) it would’ve started at 2:44
To find the decimal you divide the number on the top of the fraction by the number on the bottom of the fraction. so...:
258/300=0.86
now, to find the percent, you simply convert the decimal:
0.86 represents 86 hundredths (which is the second place after the decimal point)
which can also be stated at 86%
The answer is 67% because it rounds to 67%
Divide it into chunks of area you can find. One way to divide it is
.. a rectangle 2 mi x 5 mi at upper left.
.. a rectangle 8 mi x 6 mi down the middle
.. a rectangle 3 mi x 4 mi at lower right
.. a triangle 5 mi x 6 mi at lower left
Then the sum of areas is
.. (2 mi)*(5 mi) +(8 mi)*(6 mi) +(3 mi)*(4 mi) + (1/2)*(5 mi)*(6 mi)
.. = 10 mi^2 +48 mi^2 +12 mi^2 +15 mi^2
.. = 85 mi^2
