suppose 8 out of every 20 students are absent from school less than five days a year. Predict how many students would be absent from school less than five days a year out of 40,000 students.

Sagot :

8/20*40,000

2/5*40,000

80,000/5

160,000/10

16,000 students
calculista

we have that

If [tex] 8 [/tex] out of every [tex] 20 [/tex] students are absent from school less than five days a year less than five days a year

then

how many students would be absent from school less than five days a year out of [tex] 40,000 [/tex] students

By proportion

[tex] \frac{8}{20} =\frac{x}{40,000} \\\\ 20*x= 8*40,000\\\\ x=\frac{8*40,000}{20} [/tex]

[tex] x= 16,000\ students [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex] 16,000\ students [/tex]
