Answer:

46 of the sixth graders have green eyes.

Explanation:

This question is asking what number of the 230 sixth graders have green eyes.

We know that one out of every five of them, or 20%, have green eyes.

1/5 = 0.2

If we multiply 0.2 by the total number of sixth graders, that leaves us with 46, meaning that 46/230 sixth graders have green eyes.

I hope this helps!
