To find the mid-way number we do this:
find the difference between the highest number and the lowest given number.
Divide the difference by 2
Add that number to the lowest number or subtract that number from the highest number.
20,000 - 4,632 = 15,362

= 7,684
4,632 + 7,684 = 12,316
or (we get the same number)
20,000 - 7,684 = 12, 316
12,316 is between 4,632 and 20,000
Answer:
75 students
Step-by-step explanation:
first write a ratio of the students asked to students dislike
40:30, 40 to 30, or 40/30
now simplify the ratio
4/3
now she asked 40 students, so we have to find out the unit rate
so we have to flip the fraction to 3/4 and then divided the top and bottom by 4
0.75/1
now multiply the top and bottom by 100
75/100
