Question

Kayla randomly surveyed the eight-grade classes at her school and found that 12 out of 50 own a pet. Based on these data, how many of the 150 eight-grade students in kayla’s school would be expected to own a pet?

Answer 1

36 students

Explanation:

Set up a proportion

12/50=x/150

Cross multiply

50x=1800

Divide by 50 on both sides

x=36

So 36 out of 150 8th grades students would be expected to own a pet

Hope this helps! :)
