Answer:
9 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 of the porch= 6 boards
so to figure out how much one third of the porch needs you find half of what it takes to fill in 2/3 of the porch and you get 3.
so 3=1/3 of the porch
then you simply do 3times 3 or 3+3+3 and you get 9
so it takes 9 boards to fill the whole porch
0.3% = 0.003..." of " means multiply
0.003(200) = 0.6 <==
0.85% = 0.0085
0.0085(600) = 5.1 <==
what u can do to turn the percents to decimals is divide by 100.
0.3 / 100 = 0.003 and 0.85 / 100 = 0.0085
or u can move the decimal two spaces to the left
(6^-2)^2 = 1/1296 = 0.0007716049382716 hope this is what you were looking for. the math is right tho for (6^-2)^2 most calculators can do this easy just do 6^-2 then after just do ^2
