EXPLANATION:

We are given the following details;

A solution is 338 millimeters and is made up of acid and water.

The acid content of this solution is 12.9% of the total.

We are required to find the acid content in millimeters.

To do that, we would take the following steps;

[tex]12.9\%\text{ of }338=\frac{12.9}{100}*\frac{338}{1}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{12.9}{100}*\frac{338}{1} \\ =0.129*338 \\ =43.602 \end{gathered}[/tex]

ANSWER:

12.9% acid solution would equal 43.602 millimeters.

Rounded to the nearest tenth would now give us;

43.6 millimeters.
