Answer 2

14 students at Hamilton Middle School have red hair.

Explanation:

We know that:

• 2% have red hair.
• The total students are 700.

To calculate how many students have red hair, we just need to find the 2% of 700, which it's done by multiplying 0.02 with 700, because 2% is 0.02.

So, the operation would be:
`700(0.02)= 14`

Therefore, 14 students at Hamilton Middle School have red hair.
