This is a ratio problem. First, we need to add the number of students polled.
7 + 4 + 3 + 6 = 20
Next, look at how many out of 20 students selected Science.
3 out of 20.
Say it this way:
3 is to 20 as ? is to 400.
Express it this way:
3/20 = x/400
Cross multiply to eliminate the denominators.
3 x 400 = 20 x Now solve for x.
1200 = 20 x
x = 60
Check it!
Does 60/400 reduce to 3/20? Yes!
60 students are predicted to select science out of 400

Gravity always acts downward on every object on earth. Gravity multiplied by the object's mass produces a force called weight. Although the force of an object's weight acts downward on every particle of the object, it is usually considered to act as a single force through its balance point, or center of gravity.
