.....Jeremy did not make a good inference. The ratio is not in proportion to 2/15. The correct inference would be about 26 students who did not read any books in July. The sample might be biased since it was limited to those at the pool....
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
the question translates to asking how many times does 7/8 fit in 21, so 21 divided by 7/8.
when we divide by a fraction, we can multiply by it's inverse, so 21 divided by 7/8, is 21 multiplied by 8/7. so:
21×8/7 = (21×8)/7 = (21/7)×8 = 3×8 = 24
