A middle school band as 2/9 as many band members as the high school band. The high school band has 502 members. About how many members are in the middle school band? (1 point) Responses 645 645 390 390 112 112 45

Answer 1

To find the number of members in the middle school band, we need to calculate \( \frac{2}{9} \) of the number of members in the high school band.

The high school band has 502 members.

Now, we calculate \( \frac{2}{9} \) of 502:

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

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we find that there are approximately 112 members in the middle school band.

Thus, the answer is 112.
