A file that is 

257

 megabytes is being downloaded. If the download is 

17.6%

 complete, how many megabytes have been downloaded? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

To find out how many megabytes have been downloaded, we need to calculate \( 17.6\% \) of 257 megabytes.

Here's how we do that:

\[
\text{Downloaded megabytes} = \frac{17.6}{100} \times 257
\]

\[
\text{Downloaded megabytes} = 0.176 \times 257
\]

\[
\text{Downloaded megabytes} = 45.232
\]

Rounding this to the nearest tenth:

\[
\text{Downloaded megabytes} \approx 45.2 \, \text{MB}
\]

So, approximately 45.2 megabytes have been downloaded.
