we are told that 4 out of 10 students are taking a trip. To determine how many students will be taking a trip from a 150 students class we can use a simple rule of three, that is:
![\begin{gathered} 4\text{ trip}\rightarrow10\text{ students} \\ x\rightarrow150\text{ students} \end{gathered}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/np0mo99ia5pgyq35yxzp7exg4nv2n6zwgt.png)
Cross multiplying we get:
![x=150\text{ students(}\frac{4trip}{10\text{ students}})](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/wwwk6okaer9cy5qnlvpsf8p2t2su3es7s1.png)
solving the operations:
![x=60\text{ trip}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/m9yooyyvran5luo2ggkpbbvdit29huhoxf.png)
Therefore, 60 students are taking a trip.
