Question

Of the students taking a gym class, 5 students take tennis for every 4 students who take golf. This is represented in the diagram. Explain how you can use the

diagram to find the number of students who are taking golf if there are 30 students taking tennis.

Answer 1

In order for us to get 30, we must multiply 5 (5 is the number of students for tennis) by 6. Therefore, to get the number of students who play golf, we must multiply 4 by 6, which is 24. This answer may not be right, but hope it helps!
