25% of 5th graders would choose to have music instead of art. If there are 60 5th graders, how many of them choose?
60/4 = 15
60.
All the students choose either music or art.
^ lol. anonymous answer is very smart. xD
To find the number of 5th graders who choose music instead of art, we need to calculate 25% of the total number of 5th graders.
Step 1: Calculate 25% of the total number of 5th graders.
To find 25% of a quantity, we multiply that quantity by 0.25. In this case, the quantity is 60 (the total number of 5th graders).
25% of 60 = 0.25 * 60 = 15
Step 2: Determine the number of 5th graders who choose music instead of art.
Since we have calculated that 25% of 60 is 15, we can say that 15 5th graders choose music instead of art.
