Question

A college calculates that 12 out of 16 students get a job within the first month of graduation. If 120 students are graduating what is the predicted number that will have a job within a month?

Answer 1

90 students

Explanation:

If 12/16 of the students will get a job within the first month, its the same as saying 3/4 will.

So, we can take 3/4 of 120, which is 90 students.
