Question

Six out of every nine students at Madison high school are enrolled in a physics class. How many students can be expected to be enrolled in physics if 720 students attend Madison high school?

Answer 1

480 students must be expected to enroll into that school

Answer 2

The answer is: 480 students

Explanation:

- When they are talking about "6 out of 9 students" they are talking about the fraction 6/9.

-Simplifying the fraction equals 2/3

- So, if 2/3 of students are enrolled in physics class, if there are 720 students few are enrolled in Physics.

- 720 * (2/3) = 480

480 students are enrolled in Physics.
