Explanation:
If a question asks you for a fraction of a number, you should multiply that number by the fraction.
Put 1/10 into your calculator. This should get you 0.10
Now multiply 0.10 by 2,000,000 and you will get 200,000 as your answer.
Note: An easy way to calculate tenths of numbers mentally is to just move the decimal of the original number over one spot to the left. For example, if you wanted to find 1/10 (ie. 0.10 or 10%) of 35, you could move the decimal over to the left from 35.0 and get 3.5.

Explanation:
Whenever you see the term "of" in mathematics, you are often safe to assume that (at least at this lower level of mathematics) that it means "multiplication." Therefore, we can rewrite the question as:
What is
Now, we have it easier on ourselves, as the English word is out of the way, and we have a mathematical expression.
This is your final answer, I hope that helps!
