Answer:

178.67

Step-by-step explanation:

One third written as a fraction is 1/3. You can also write it as a decimal by simply dividing 1 by 3 which is 0.33.

If you multiply 0.33 with 536 you will see that you will end up with the same answer as above.

You may also find it useful to know that if you multiply 0.33 with 100 you get 33.33. Which means that our answer of 178.67 is 33.33 percent of 536.
