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
To find the number of students in Ms. Jay's homeroom who would be expected to have an A, we can use proportions.
First, let's find the proportion of students who have an A in Ms. Darnell's class. The proportion is 9/72.
Now, we can use this proportion to find the expected number of students with an A in Ms. Jay's homeroom. The proportion is 9/72 = x/16.
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
9 * 16 = 72 * x
144 = 72x
Divide both sides by 72 to solve for x:
x = 144/72
x = 2
Therefore, we would expect 2 students in Ms. Jay's homeroom to have an A.
