Question

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?

Answer 1

Let find percentage of 5/9

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 5/9(100)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 500/9`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 55.5\%`

More students are in chorus

Answer 2

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
