Question

A recent survey of 2500 seventh graders from across the state shows 2 out of 5 of them do not eat breakfast. How many of the students surveyed do not eat breakfast?

Answer 1

There are 2 of 5 students that do not eat breakfast. This can be represented as 2/5. To find how many did not eat breakfast, you multiply 2/5 by 2500.

This gives you 1,000.
Therefore, 1,000 students surveyed did not eat breakfast.

Hope this helps!
