Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) as a decimal number = 0.00055

b) as a percent 0.055%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Navajo people = 169 000

American people = 308 700 000

a) Navajo people as a decimal number = 169 000 / 308 700 000

                                                             = 169 / 308 700

                                                             = 0. 00055

b)          308 700 000   --------------------   100 %

                     169 000   ---------------------    x

                    x = 169000(100) / 308700000 = 0.055
