Answer:

We need to know how many students are in sixth grade and compare the real number with the 84 sixth graders that Jasmine claims to be.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would need to know how many students are in sixth grade to determine who is right. If two students out of seven have an overdue library book and grace claims that 24 of them are overdue by that means, what we would need to do is divide the allegedly 24 students between 2. Now we have 12 pairs of students that have overdue books. For every pair of students in sixth grade that have overdue books, seven students don’t have overdue books, so now we multiply 12 pairs of students with overdue books times 7 students who don’t have overdue books. By Jasmine calculation then, sixth grade have 84 students.  

If sixth grade have indeed 84 students, Jasmine is right. If there are not 84 students in sixth grade, she is wrong. Grace is right if there are fewer students than 84 in sixth grade.

Have a nice day! :D

9 7/8 written as a decimal is 9.88

Work: So, The first thing I did was 9 (Whole Number) times the Denominator. After the Multiplication, I had gotten 72. I added 72 by the numerator which is 79. Then, I divided 79 by the denominator, and I had gotten 9.875, and I rounded it up to 9.88

I hope this helps, and you get this question correct. :)

How do you use proportions to solve percent problems​
exis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

EXAMPLE #1:

What number is 75% of 4?   (or   Find 75% of 4.)

The PERCENT always goes over 100.

   (It's a part of the whole 100%.)

4 appears with the word of:

   It's the WHOLE and goes on the bottom.

A proportion showing one fraction  with PART as the numerator and 4 as the denominator equal to another fraction with 75 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator.

We're trying to find the missing PART (on the top).

In a proportion the cross-products are equal:   So 4 times 75 is equal to 100 times the PART.

The missing PART equals 4 times 75 divided by 100.

(Multiply the two opposite corners with numbers; then divide by the other number.)

4 times 75 = 100 times the part

300 = 100 times the part

300/100 = 100/100 times the part

3 =   the part

A proportion showing the denominator,  4, times the diagonally opposite 75; divided by  100.
