Answer:
We expect 900 students to borrow library books
Explanation:
Proportions
If two variables are proportional, then one of them can be obtained as the other times a fixed number.
If x and y are proportional, then:
y=k.x
Where k is the constant of proportionality
The value of k can be obtained by dividing y/x.
That division, also called ratio gives us the proportion to be applied to future calculations.
In Sophia's class, 3 out of 4 students borrowed library books.
This gives us a proportion ratio of 3/4.
If we apply that same proportion to the rest of the Liberty Center Middle School, with 1,200 students, then, we expect to have
3 / 4 * 1200 = 900 students borrowing library books.
We expect 900 students to borrow library books
