Question

A middle school cafeteria found out that 10 out of every 35 students pick low-fat milk to drink for lunch. Based on this information, if 1,190 students go through the cafeteria line each day, how many students will pick low-fat milk?
Your answer choices:

340
440
500

Answer 1

Answer:

340

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number students who choose low-fat milk

set up a proportion:  $\frac{10}{35}$ = $\frac{x}{1190}$

cross-multiply:  35x = 11900

                         divide each side by 35
