Answer 1

To find the number of members in the middle school band, we can use the information that the middle school band has \( \frac{2}{9} \) as many members as the high school band.

Given that the high school band has 502 members, we can calculate the number of members in the middle school band as follows:

\[ \text{Middle school band members} = \frac{2}{9} \times 502 \]

Now we perform the multiplication:

\[ \frac{2 \times 502}{9} = \frac{1004}{9} \approx 111.56 \]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get approximately 112.

So, the answer is 112.

Answer 4

its not 112 choose another

Answer 5

Let's go through the calculation again step-by-step to determine how many members are in the middle school band:

1. The high school band has 502 members.
2. The middle school band has \( \frac{2}{9} \) as many members as the high school band.

So we calculate:

\[ \text{Middle school band members} = \frac{2}{9} \times 502 \]

Calculating \( \frac{2}{9} \times 502 \):

1. First calculate \( 2 \times 502 = 1004 \).
2. Then divide by 9:

\[ \frac{1004}{9} \approx 111.56 \]

Rounding down gives us 111, which is not one of the options.

Since 112 was identified, let me check the available choices:

• 45
• 645
• 112
• 390

Considering the rounding did lead to approximately 112, let's check the other possible choices briefly regarding what fits:

• 45: is much lower than our result.
• 645: is much higher than our result.
• 390: is also higher than our result.

None of the other answers makes sense based on the given ratio. 112 seems to be the only reasonable answer based on the calculated operations.

Could you clarify or confirm if there's any additional context?
