    Milo meets a young boy while climbing the steps to Infinity and is not suprised to find that the boy is only half a boy, .58 to be exact. This boy is the perfect size to fit into ____ of a car.

    Correct Answer
    3/10
    Explanation
    Since the boy is only half a boy, .58 can be interpreted as 58% or 58/100. To find the perfect size to fit into a car, we need to find what fraction of the car's size the boy represents. Multiplying 58/100 by 3/10 gives us 174/1000, which simplifies to 87/500. Therefore, the boy is the perfect size to fit into 87/500 of a car.
