Question

Of the 72 students who have Ms. Darnell for Health/PE, 9 have an A. At this rate, how many of the 16 students in Ms. Jay’s homeroom would you expect to have an A? (1 point)

students

Answer 1

To find the number of students in Ms. Jay's homeroom who would be expected to have an A, we can set up a proportion:

9/72 = x/16

Cross-multiplying, we get:

72x = 9 * 16

Simplifying the equation, we get:

72x = 144

Dividing both sides by 72, we find:

x = 144/72

x = 2

Therefore, we would expect 2 out of the 16 students in Ms. Jay's homeroom to have an A.
