Question

ABC School has 150 students enrolled who do not speak English. It is also known that 6/7 of the students can recognize all 26 letters. How many students still needs to learn the entire alphabet? Type your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

about 21 students

Explanation:

total students: 150 students enrolled

recognize all letters: 6/7 of the students

To find 1/7 of the students: divided the 150 by 7

150/7 = 21.4285 this is for 1/7th of students

since 1/7th of the students need to learn the alphabet (7/7 - 1/7 = 6/7)

OR

150/7 = 21.4285 this is for 1/7th of students

150/7 x 6 = 128.57 this is for 6/7th of students

150 - 128.57 = 21.4285
