Question

5. There are 450 students attending High Desert Middle School. This year 34% of the students walk to school. Explain how you can use proportional reasoning to calculate the number of students that walk to school.​

Answer 1

Ok so look get a piece of paper write down the percent is it going up or down we don’t know that but since it’s nothing like clothes you use that but think. Of your problem as like if you went to a store and so clothes were 34 percent off you going to get the original percent and then your doing 450\x ok now I go over 34%\100 it’s always going to be one hundred but since we’re talking about something else here’s your answer your just gonna say the ratio in this problem and your going to use that calculator call Dezmos use the scientific one and it will give you the answer if put 450 then 34%

Answer 2

If you put 34% over 100 multiply 34 and 450 then you will have 15,300. Then divide 15,300 and 100.

ANSWER: 153
