The length of Giselle's arm is 27 inches. The length of her lower arm is 17 inches. About what percent of Giselle's arm is her lower arm?

Set up a proportion:
17 = x
27 100
Cross multiply:
1700 = 27x (now, divide to solve for x)
/27 /27
x = 62.962962...
When rounded, Giselle's lower arm is 62.96% of her arm.

Giselle's lower arm is approximately 62.96% of her total arm length of 27 inches, which rounds to about 63%. This is calculated using the formula for percentage. By dividing the length of her lower arm by the total arm length and multiplying by 100, we determined this percentage.
