Its the percent of your blood that is actually alcohol. .1 means .1 % of your blood is alcohol.
Its decimals into a percent .1 is 10%
I see what you did. .1 is 10% of 1, and when you are dealing in probability, 1 = 100%. It's like when you want to find a percentage on a calculator and multiply the number by a decimal. When you want to know 22% of 145, you multiply 145 X 0.22
However in this case the decimal is not representative of a probability percentage, the decimal is the actual percentage of alcohol in the blood, no conversion necessary.
So you had a brainfart. It's ok. Obama said in a speech that there were 57 states and he was the editor in chief of the Harvard Law Review. Keep your chin up.
