Answer 1

6400 fans will be pleased.

Explanation:

Out of 150 fans, 120 were pleased. Assuming the same ratio, out of 8000 fans, 8000x120/150 = 6400 will be pleased.

Answer 2

6400

Explanation:

We need to find the fraction of fans that are pleased

120 out of 150 are please

120/150 = 12/15 =4/5

We multiply this fraction by the fans at the game

4/5 * 8000 = 6400

6400 fans should be pleased
