To find out how many students in the freshman class are majoring in Economics, we can calculate 48% of the total number of students.
1. First, convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
48\% = \frac{48}{100} = 0.48
\]
2. Next, multiply the total number of students by the decimal:
\[
\text{Number of Economics majors} = 5400 \times 0.48
\]
3. Perform the multiplication:
\[
5400 \times 0.48 = 2592
\]
Thus, the number of students in the freshman class who are majoring in Economics is \( \boxed{2592} \).
