Be sure to answer both questions in sentence form. Also, describe how you got your answers in sentence form.

Answer 1

200 kids wore a hat, and 150 kids did not wear a hat.

Explanation:

first, we need to find out how many "batches" of 7 students there are. 350 divided by 7 = 50. now, we can do 4*50 because that's how many "batches" of students there are. 4*50=200. 200 kids wore a hat. as for the kids who didn't wear a hat, 350-200=150 students with no hats.

Answer 2

Out of 350 students in line, 200 of them wore a hat.

Out of 350 students, 150 did not wear a hat.

Explanation:

I divided 350 by 7 and got 50. Then, I multiplied 50 by 4 (the number of students out of 7 that wore a hat) to get 200, which is the number of students in line that did wear a hat. The rest did not wear a hat, so to find that number I subtracted 200 from 350 and got 150, which is the number of students that didn't wear a hat.

hope this helps :)
