Question

There are 1265 students at Cypress Middle School. 42% of the students are enrolled in PE. Which equation could be used to represent the number of students enrolled in PE?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.42* 1265=x

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1265 students in Cypress Middle School. So we already know one part of the equation. 42% of these students are in PE. So we know that 42% of  these 1265 students are in PE. Of these means you probably have to multiply 42% and 1265. 42% = 0.42. So to write an equation we take the 0.42 and 1265 and put it together. Therefore, 0.42 times 1265=x.
