The library surveyed 240 people about their favorite movie. if 15% people chose documentaries, how many people chose documentaries

If the library surveyed 240 people and only 15% chose documentaries, then only 36 people chose documentaries and the other 204 chose something else other than documentaries. You had to get 15% into decimal form and to do that you move the "." in 15.0% left 2 places so you get 0.15. Then you multiply 240 by 0.15 and you get 36. 

29. because you will divide each number of months by 12 to find the number of years. which would mean, 5, 12.5, 16, 45, 50, 72.5. which is crazy. anyhow, i think you find the median in the middle. and yea hope your test goes good
