At the last football game, 4 out of every 9 students wore school colors. Based on this information, if 450 students attend the next football game, how many students will wear school colors?
If 4 out of every 9 students wear school colors, then the proportion of students wearing school colors is 4/9.
To find out how many students will wear school colors out of 450 attending the next football game, we can set up a proportion:
4/9 = x/450
Cross multiplying, we get:
9x = 4 * 450
9x = 1800
x = 1800/9
x = 200
Therefore, if 450 students attend the next football game, 200 students will wear school colors.
