Question

A school counselor surveyed 90 randomly selected

students about the languages they speak. Of the students
surveyed, 16
speak more than one language fluently.
Based on these results, how many of the 1,800 students at
the school can be expected to speak more than one
language fluently?

Answer 1

About one hundred and twelve students speak more than one language fluently

Answer 2

Set up a ratio.
16/90 = x/1800
Cross multiply
90x = 16(1800)
90x = 28,800
Divide both sides by 90
x = 320
