Answer 1

Answer:

There are 60 toddlers in the preschool class

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Percentage of the toddlers in a preschool class drink water with their lunch = 5

Number of the toddlers in a preschool class drink water with their lunch = 3

2.  How many toddlers are in the class?

We'll solve the question, using the Direct Rule of Three, this way:

Percentage      Toddlers

      5                       3

    100                     x

*******************************

5x = 3 *100

5x = 300

x = 300/5

x = 60

There are 60 toddlers in the preschool class
