Question

At an assembly 7 out of the first 10 students who entered the gym we're carrying a backpack. Based on this on formation if 700 students were at the assembly how many students could be expected to be carrying a backpack?

Answer 1

Answer:

490 students have back packs

Step-by-step explanation:

700 / 10 = 70

70* 7 = 490

Answer 2

7 students carrying a backpack out of 10 total students = 7/10

700 students attending divided by 10 students from formation, equals 70

in multiplication, it would be 70 • 10 = 700

do the same to the numerator of the fraction

7 • 70 = 490 students carrying a backpack

so, your final answer would be:

if 700 students are attending this assembly, based o the formation, 490 students would be carrying a backpack
