Answer 2

start by converting 10% to a fraction :

10% = 1/10

Then we have

10% of 28.97 = 1/10 x 28.97 = 1/10 x 28.97/1 = 28.97/10

Notice that 28.97 was rewritten as the fraction 28.97/1, and that to multiply two fractions together, you simply multiply the numerators and denominators.

Now we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 100 to get rid of the decimal :

28.97/10 = 28.97/10 x 100/100 = 2897/1000

The fraction 2897/1000 can now be converted to a decimal by carrying out the division by inspection, on paper or with a calculator :

2897/1000 = 2.897

So the final answer is

10% of 28.97 = 2897/1000 = 2.897

Alternately, we can convert 10% directly to a decimal :
