of Mrs. Perez’s students participate in school sports.

Answer 1

To find out how many of Mrs. Perez's students participate in school sports, we need to calculate \( \frac{5}{7} \) of the 28 students.

We can do this by multiplying the total number of students (28) by the fraction \( \frac{5}{7} \):

\[
\text{Number of students in sports} = \frac{5}{7} \times 28
\]

Now, we can calculate it step-by-step:

1. First, simplify \( 28 \div 7 \):
\[
28 \div 7 = 4
\]

2. Then, multiply that result by 5:
\[
4 \times 5 = 20
\]

Thus, \( 20 \) of Mrs. Perez's students participate in school sports.

So the final answer is:
\[
\text{20 students participate in school sports.}
\]
