Question

1. The student council at Camp Creek Middle School determines that 3 out of 4

students prefer that all school assemblies be held on Friday afternoon. If 200
students are surveyed, how many will prefer that school assemblies be held on
Friday afternoon? *

Answer 1

150 students

Explanation:

Because they are surveying 200 students, you'll want to divide that 200 by 4. You divide by 4 because then that gives you the amount of 1/4 of 200, which is 50. From there, the problem says that 3/4 people prefer assemblies on Friday. Now that you know 1/4 of 200 is 50, you simply multiply 50 by 3. This created the answer, 150 students.

Answer 2

Hi there!

Your answer is: 150 people prefer that school assemblies be held on Friday afternoon

Explanation:

3 out of 4 students means that 75% of students prefer assemblies on Friday afternoon!

To find 75% of 200:

200 = 100%

/100 to find 1%

2 people = 1%

Multiply it by 75 to determine 75%

2×75= 150

150people is 75% of 200 people!

I hope this makes sense! Let me know if you have questions!
