The United States has 12383 miles of a coastline. If .8% of the coastline is located in Georgia, then about how many miles of coastlines are in Georgia?
So you have to find 0.8% of 12383 to find the answer. You do this by first dividing 12383 by 1000 to get 0.1%, which is 1.2383. Then, you multiply 1.2383 by 8 to get 0.8%, which is 9.9064 miles, which is your answer. Hope this helped!
