Question

Of the 40 students in Ms. Carr’s class, 87.5% live less than 10 miles from school. How many of the students in Ms. Carr’s class live less than 10 miles from school?

Answer 1

Answer:35

Step-by-step explanation: First we convert the percent into a decimal. It's very simple all we have to do is move the decimal point 2 spaces forward.

So in this case 87.5% would equal .875 in decimal form.

Next we mulitply the decimal times the whole number, 40.

0.875*40 = 35

And we have our answer.

35 students live less than 10 miles from the school.

Hope this helps have a good one!
