Of the 175 students who have Ms. Darnell for Health/PE, 35 have an A. At this rate, how many of the 50 students in Ms. Jay’s homeroom would you expect to have an A?
*
10 students
85 students
210 students
5 students
To determine the expected number of students in Ms. Jay's homeroom who would have an A, we can set up a proportion using the given information:
Number of students with an A in Ms. Darnell's class / Total number of students in Ms. Darnell's class = Number of students with an A in Ms. Jay's homeroom / Total number of students in Ms. Jay's homeroom
Using the given information:
35 / 175 = x / 50
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
35 * 50 = 175 * x
1750 = 175x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 175, we get:
x = 10
Therefore, we would expect 10 students in Ms. Jay's homeroom to have an A.
