C) 5/7 ÷ 35
D) 7/5 ÷ 35

Answer 1

To find out the number of days Alejandro has attended school, multiply the total days (35) by the fraction of days present (5/7), which gives you the correct expression as 35 x 5/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that can be used to determine the number of days Alejandro has gone to school when he has attended school for 5/7 of the last 35 days is 35 x 5/7.

To calculate this, you multiply the total number of days by the fraction of days he was present:

1. First, identify the total number of days: 35 days.
2. Next, determine the fraction of those days Alejandro was present: 5/7.
3. Then, multiply the total number of days by the fraction of presence: 35 x 5/7.

The resulting product will give you the number of days Alejandro has attended school.
