A survey showed that 5 out of 6 students own a pet. Based on this result, how many of the 900 students in a school own a pet?

Answer 1

750 of the 900 students in the school own pets

• If 5 of 6 students own a pet ;
• The Fraction of pet owners out of the students can be represented as a fraction = 5/6

• Hence, 5/6 of the students have pets

• Total number of students = 900

• Total number who own pets :
• Total × (fraction who own pets)
• 900 × (5/6) = 750

Therefore, 750 students own pets.
