Question

There are 3 High Schools and 14 Elementary Schools in the district. If this is proportional to the whole state and there are 96 High Schools in the whole state, how many Elementary Schools are there in the whole state? Show all steps.

Answer 1

Proportion = 3:14 = 1:4.6666666667 (divide each number by 3)

1x96 = 96
4.6666666667x96 = 448 

96:448

448 Elementary Schools
