Question

(Help please !)

Of the total babies born in America, 51.2% are boys. If 3000 babies are born in a certain hospital this year, what is the expected number of boys?

Answer 1

1536 boys.

Explanation:

Quite simple! 51.2% is 0.512, which we can use to calculate the number.

`3000 * 0.512 = 1536` boys.

Alternative notation: 3000 * 51.2% = 1536
