There were 36 students trying out for the school basketball team, but only 2/9 were going to make it through. How many students would there be on the school basketball team?

HELP ASAP!

Answer 1

Answer: 8

Explanation:

The percent of 2/9 is roughly 22%

Multiply 36 by this percent to get about 7.9 which rounds up to 8, that would mean only about 8 students would make the time since they are the 2/9 of 36.
