What proportion of the students who chose walking were boys?
To find the proportion of students who chose walking and were boys, you will need two pieces of information: the total number of students who chose walking, and the number of boys who chose walking.
1. Find the total number of students who chose walking: You may need to consult the data or survey results to determine the total number of students who chose walking.
2. Determine the number of boys who chose walking: Again, you will need to refer to the data or survey results to find the specific number of boys who chose walking as their preferred mode of transportation.
3. Calculate the proportion: Divide the number of boys who chose walking by the total number of students who chose walking. Multiply the result by 100 to obtain the proportion as a percentage.
For example, let's say there were 80 students who chose walking and 40 of them were boys. To find the proportion of boys among the students who chose walking:
Proportion = (Number of boys who chose walking / Total number of students who chose walking) * 100
Proportion = (40 / 80) * 100
Proportion = 50%
Therefore, in this example, 50% of the students who chose walking were boys.
To determine the proportion of students who chose walking and were boys, we need to have the number of boys who chose walking and the total number of students who chose walking.
If you have this information, you can divide the number of boys who chose walking by the total number of students who chose walking. Then, multiply it by 100 to get the percentage. Here's the step-by-step calculation:
1. Find the number of boys who chose walking.
2. Find the total number of students who chose walking.
3. Divide the number of boys who chose walking by the total number of students who chose walking.
4. Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
