school, how many should she expect

to forget their bows?

Answer 1

`(72)/(q)` number of cheerleaders, she would expect to forget their bows.

Explanation:

Kaley estimates that 2 out of every q cheerleaders will forget to bring their bows for practice.

So, if there are q cheerleaders then 2 of them will forget to bring their bows.

Then if there are 1 cheerleader then
`(2)/(q)` of them will forget to bring their bows.

Finally, if there are 36 cheerleaders then
`(2 * 36)/(q) = (72)/(q)` of them will forget to bring their bows.

Therefore,
`(72)/(q)` number of cheerleaders, she would expect to forget their bows. (Answer)
