A file that is 287  megabytes is being downloaded. If the download is 18.5 complete, how many megabytes have been downloaded? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

To determine how many megabytes have been downloaded, you can multiply the total file size by the percentage that has been downloaded.

\[
\text{Downloaded size} = \text{Total size} \times \left(\frac{\text{Percentage complete}}{100}\right)
\]

Given:
- Total file size = 287 MB
- Percentage complete = 18.5%

Now, calculate:

\[
\text{Downloaded size} = 287 \times \left(\frac{18.5}{100}\right) = 287 \times 0.185 = 53.095 \text{ MB}
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

\[
\text{Downloaded size} \approx 53.1 \text{ MB}
\]

So, approximately **53.1 MB** has been downloaded.

2. If the download speed is 5 MB per second, how long will it take to complete the download?
3. What percentage of the file remains to be downloaded?
4. If the download rate suddenly slows to 2 MB per second, how much longer will it take to complete?
5. What is the download size if the completion percentage increases to 50%?

**Tip:** When solving percentage problems, always convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100 before multiplying.
