Question

3. A recent school survey found that 8 out of 10 students plan to go to college after graduating high school. At that rate, how many of the 2540 students at the

local high school plan to go to college?
318 students
3175 students
2032 students
2000 students

Answer 1

2032 students

Explanation:

First, you divide the number of students into ten equal parts, and then you multiply that amount by eight to get the number of students planning to go to college after high school.

2540 ÷ 10 = 254

254 • 8 = 2032

I hope this helps
