Approximately 1 in every 10 people is left handed. How many left handed people would you expect to find in a group of 430 people?
1 of 10 = 0.1 = 10%
0.1 * 430 = ?
Thank u Ms. Sue
You're welcome, Amy.
To calculate the approximate number of left-handed people in a group of 430, we can use the fact that approximately 1 in every 10 people is left-handed.
To do this, we can set up a proportion:
left-handed people / total people = 1/10
First, we need to find the total number of left-handed people. Rearranging the proportion, we have:
left-handed people = (total people * 1) / 10
Plugging in the values, we get:
left-handed people = (430 * 1) / 10
Simplifying the equation:
left-handed people = 43
Therefore, you would expect to find approximately 43 left-handed people in a group of 430 individuals.
