Answer:

480

Explanation:

We can set up a proportion:

#students that eat carrots / #students surveyed=#students that eat carrots / #students surveyed

x will equal the number of students in Sarah's school who eat carrots.

30/50 = x/800

We can simplify

3/5=x/800

We cross multiply

5x=3*800

5x=2400

x=480

Hope this helps!
