Question

For every left-handed person, there are about 4-right handed people. If there are 30 students in a class, predict the number of students who are right-handed.

Answer 1

There are 24 right handed students

Explanation:

This is a ratio question so it would be represented as 1:4.

First you would do 1 + 4 which is 5.

Then do 30 ÷ 5 which is 6.

Finally multiply 6 by 4 and 1.

So 6 × 4 × 1 is 24.

So there are 24 students who are right handed.

Hope this makes sense!
