Solution

To find out how many minutes have gone by, we need to calculate 38% of the total time Shen set on the treadmill, which is 53 minutes.

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal. To do this, divide the percentage by 100. So, 38% becomes 0.38.

Step 2: Multiply the total time by the decimal. So, 0.38 * 53 = 20.14 minutes.

Rounding this to the nearest tenth, we get 20.1 minutes. So, approximately 20.1 minutes have gone by.
