To answer this question, we can use the information provided in the national survey.

According to the survey, 13 out of every 25 middle school students have cell phones.

To find out how many students at Patton Middle School can have cell phones, we can set up a proportion.

The proportion can be set up as follows:

13/25 = X/475

Where X represents the number of students at Patton Middle School who have cell phones.

To solve for X, we can cross-multiply and then divide.

Cross-multiplying gives us:

25X = 13 * 475

Simplifying the equation:

25X = 6175

Dividing both sides of the equation by 25 gives us:

X = 6175/25

Simplifying further:

X = 247

Therefore, the estimated number of students at Patton Middle School who can have cell phones is 247.

So, the correct answer is 247.
