At an assembly 4 out of the first 10 students who entered the gym were carrying a backpack. Based on this information, if 800 students were at the assembly, how many students could be expected to be carrying a backpack?

Make 4 out of 10 a ratio, 4:10, so that means 40% of the population carry backpacks so 40% of 800 is 320, so I’m thinking it’s 320 students sorry if this is wrong
