Question

One way for a child to be identified as gifted in California is to have an IQ of 130 or above. A few years ago, a Los Angeles high school had a total enrollment of 2,830 students, of whom 410 were identified as gifted.

What is the proportion of students who were identified as gifted in this high school?

Answer 1

41/283

Explanation:

if you are referring to the proportion of gifted students to total students:

if 410 are gifted out of 2830 total, then 410/2830 of kids at the school are gifted

410/2830 = 41/283
