Answer:
- North Middle School = 10 students
- Central Middle School = 6 students
- South Middle School = 4 students
Step-by-step explanation:
First calculate the total number of students in all the schools:
= 618 + 378 + 204
= 1,200 students
Use this number to calculate the proportion of the total population that a school so that this can then be used to determine the proportion of the 20 delegates they should sent.
North Middle school:
= 618/1,200 * 20
= 10 students
Central Middle School:
= 378 / 1,200 * 20
= 6 students
South Middle School:
= 204/1,200 * 20
= 4 students
