Answer:
28 million college students.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent all college students as x. This means that all part-time college students are 
. Because all part-time college students are also equal to 8.6 million, we have 
. To find the number of total college students, or x, we have to multiply by 100/31 to get rid of the fraction on the other side:
The left side of the equation evaluates as 
. Because we are asked to round to the nearest million, we have to round to 28 million, which is the closest.
7×20 and 7×2000 are similar. The amount of zeros are the dependent factor.
7×20= 140
7×2000= 14000
The base equation is 7×2=14
Any additions of zeroes in this formula will be added at the end result.
Ex.
7×2=14
7×20=140
7×200=1400
70×200=14000
700×200=140000
10 x 40 = 400 so the answer is 400 pieces of chalk.
