Answer:

The answer is 2.5 times The no of students who said that hip hop is their favorite kind of music

Explanation:

Let the total no of sixth grade students be n

At a school 40% of the sixth grade students said that hip hop is their

favorite kind of music

Let the number of students who like the hip hop be h

∵ h = 40 % of n

h = 40/100 × n

n = 100/40 × h

n = 2.5 × h

The total no of sixth grade students = 2.5 times The no of students

who said that hip hop is their favorite kind of music
