At a school, 3 out of every 7 students answered football as their favorite sport. If 150 students were surveyed, calculate the most reasonable number of students who answered football as their favorite sport. Round down your answer.(1 point)
If 3 out of every 7 students answered football as their favorite sport, the fraction that answered football is 3/7.
The total number of students who answered football as their favorite sport is 3/7*150 = <<3/7*150=64.28571428571429>>64.28571428571429
Since we need to round down the number, the most reasonable number of students who answered football as their favorite sport is 64. Answer: \boxed{64}.
If 5 out of every 8 students support the new school administration, what is the most reasonable number of students among the 1,500 students surveyed who support the new administration?(1 point)
students
If 5 out of every 8 students support the new school administration, the fraction that supports the new administration is 5/8.
The total number of students who support the new administration is 5/8 * 1500 = <<5/8*1500=937.5>>937.5
Since we need to round down the number, the most reasonable number of students who support the new administration is 937. Answer: \boxed{937}.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation.
If 5 out of every 8 students support the new school administration, the fraction that supports the new administration is 5/8.
The total number of students who support the new administration is (5/8) * 1500 = 937.5.
Since we cannot have half a student, the most reasonable number of students who support the new administration would be 937 students. Answer: \boxed{937}.
To calculate the most reasonable number of students who answered football as their favorite sport, we need to find 3 out of every 7 students.
First, we find the proportion of students who answered football as their favorite sport. The proportion is calculated by dividing the number of students who answered football by the total number of students surveyed. In this case, the proportion is 3/7.
Next, we multiply the proportion by the total number of students surveyed to find the actual number of students who answered football as their favorite sport.
So, the most reasonable number of students who answered football as their favorite sport is:
(3/7) * 150 = 64.28571428571429
Rounding down the answer, we get 64.
Therefore, the most reasonable number of students who answered football as their favorite sport is 64.
