Answer:
175 people would be expected to be carrying a purse.
Explanation:
7/10 people who entered were carrying a purse and if you say 250 people entered the store in one day the number of people would now be 250 instead of 10.
Since I made it into a fraction form you would need to find a numerator that would make the ratio equal. 7/10 = ?/250 Since 10 is a factor of 250 you would divide 250 by 10 and you would get 25. Since 10 * 25 is 250 you would also multiply the numerator, which is 7, by 25. 7 * 25 is 175. The ratio 7/10 = 175/250 is now equal.
The answer would be 175 would be expected to be carrying a purse since I had made the numerator of the fraction the number of people who were expected to bring a purse and the denominator the number of people entering the store.
