n Jefferson Middle School, 5% of the sixth graders have red hair. If there are 100 sixth graders, how many have red hair?

Question

5
20
50
95

Answer 1

To find out how many sixth graders have red hair, we can calculate 5% of 100.

5% of 100 is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Number of students with red hair} = 100 \times \frac{5}{100} = 100 \times 0.05 = 5 \]

Thus, the number of sixth graders with red hair is 5.
