IF 2/7 OF THE 2905 STUDENTS ARE FRESHMEN,AND IF 30% OF THE FRESHMEN PLAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT,HOW MANY FRESHMEN STUDENTS PLAY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS?

What is (3/10)(2/7)(2905) ?

To find the number of freshmen students who play musical instruments, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the number of freshmen students.
To do this, multiply the total number of students (2905) by the fraction representing the proportion of freshmen (2/7):
Number of freshmen = (2/7) * 2905 = 829.29
Since we can't have a fraction of a student, we can round the result to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the number of freshmen students is approximately 829.

Step 2: Find the number of freshmen who play musical instruments.
To do this, multiply the number of freshmen (829) by the percentage representing the proportion of freshmen who play musical instruments (30%):
Number of freshman musicians = (30/100) * 829 = 248.7
Similarly, rounding the result to the nearest whole number, we find that approximately 249 freshmen students play musical instruments.

Therefore, the answer is approximately 249 freshmen students who play musical instruments.
