The 10 students in the Environmental Club represent 4% of the students in the seventh grade. How many students are in the seventh grade?
Multiply/scale up to solve.
To find out how many students are in the seventh grade, we can set up a proportion using the information given:
10 students in the Environmental Club represent 4% of the students in the seventh grade.
Let x be the total number of students in the seventh grade.
Therefore, we can write the proportion as:
10/x = 4/100
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
10 * 100 = 4x
1000 = 4x
Now, divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
1000/4 = x
250 = x
Therefore, there are 250 students in the seventh grade.
