Answer:

5,400

Explanation:

Out of every 20 students, there are 9 that gain admission to s.h.s.

Overall, there are 12,000 students. To find how many groups of 20 students there are, we divide 12,000 by 20. We get 600.

Since there are 9/20 students, we multiply 600 * 9. We get 5,400.

So, out of the 12,000 students, 5,400 gained admission.

Hope this helps.
