Alejandra's surveys show that 2/5 of the high school students in her District have summer jobs.

Let j represents the number of students who have summer jobs.

Let s represent the total number of students.

Then we can write the following equation


j=(2)/(5)s

The above equation means that the number of students who have summer jobs is 2/5 of the total number of students.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C
