The ratio of the number of freshman to old students to juniors to seniors on a college basketball team is 4:7:6:8.what percent of the team are old students?
7/25 = 0.28 = 28%
Thanks Ms. Sue
You're welcome, ABC.
To find the percentage of old students on the college basketball team, we first need to calculate the total number of students on the team.
Given the ratio of freshman to old students to juniors to seniors is 4:7:6:8, let's assign variables to each group. Let's say the number of freshmen is 4x, the number of old students is 7x, the number of juniors is 6x, and the number of seniors is 8x.
The total number of students on the team is the sum of all these groups:
Total number of students = number of freshmen + number of old students + number of juniors + number of seniors
Total number of students = 4x + 7x + 6x + 8x
Total number of students = 25x
Now, to find the percentage of old students, divide the number of old students (7x) by the total number of students (25x) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
Percentage of old students = (number of old students / total number of students) * 100
Percentage of old students = (7x / 25x) * 100
Percentage of old students = 28x
So, the percentage of the team that consists of old students is 28x%.
Note: The value of x is not given, so we cannot determine the exact percentage without additional information.
