At Albemarle High School, 5/9 of the students are in band and 57% of the students are in chorus. Are more AHS students in band or chorus?

Given

Percentage of students in Chorus.

Fraction of students in band

To find

Which has more students.

Let's start.

We need to find the Percentage of students in band.


\sf \longmapsto \: (5)/(9) * 100


\sf \longmapsto \: (5)/(9) * (100)/(1)


\sf \longmapsto \: (5 * 100)/(9 * 1)


\sf \longmapsto \: (500)/(9)

In Percentage:-


\sf \longmapsto \: \cancel (500)/(9)


\sf \longmapsto \: 55.55\%


\sf{55.55\% (Band)}<\sf{57\%(Chorus)}

  • Chorus has more students
