Question

A paper publisher in a medical journal reported that about 11/25 of girls ages 16 to 17 did not exercise at all. The entire study consisted of about 2,500 girls. About how many did not exercise?

Answer 1

1400

Explanation:

the number of girls aged 16 - 17 that do not exercise = 11/25 x 2500 = 1100

The total number of girls that do not exercise = 2500 - 1100 = 1400
