Question

8of the 12 students on a soccer team are on the honor roll. If the relationship on this team is proportional to the number of honor roll students on the entire soccer league, determine the number of honor roll students in the league if there are 400 players.

Answer 1

267 students

Explanation:

Number of students in a team (t) is proportional to number of honor roll students (n)

Mathematically, t = kn (k is constant

When t = 12, n = 8

k = t/n = 12/8 = 1.5

When t = 400

n = t/k = 400/1.5 = 267 (to the nearest whole number)
