Question

Mr. Tasker gave 50 pieces of candy in his A1 CCR class. His A1 CCR class has 14 students. If Mr. Tasker gives candy at the same rate to his A2 CCR class and his A2 CCR class has 17 students, approximately how many pieces of candy will Mr. Tasker give to his A2 CCR class.

Answer 1

Mr. Tasker will likely give approximately 60 or 61 pieces of candy to his A2 CCR class, based on the rate he gave candy in his A1 CCR class.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of the question is Mathematics, and it is a proportional reasoning problem typically encountered in high school.

To determine how many pieces of candy Mr. Tasker will give to his A2 CCR class, we first need to understand the rate at which he gave candy to the A1 CCR class. Mr. Tasker gave a total of 50 pieces of candy to 14 students, which means each student in A1 CCR class received approximately 3.57 pieces of candy (50/14).

Assuming Mr. Tasker gives candy at the same rate to the A2 CCR class, each of the 17 students would also receive approximately 3.57 pieces of candy. Multiplying this rate by the number of students in the A2 class gives us:

3.57 pieces/student × 17 students = approximately 60.69 pieces of candy

Since Mr. Tasker can't give a fraction of a piece of candy, he will likely round and give either 60 or 61 pieces to the A2 CCR class, depending on his rounding preference.
