To determine which statements are correct, we can analyze the given information:
We know that 10% of the students play a musical instrument, and this number is 160 students.
If 10% is 160, we can find the total number of students using the equation:
\[ \text{Total Students} = \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Percent}} = \frac{160}{0.10} = 1600 \]
Based on this information, we can evaluate the statements:
-
There are 250 students in the school.
- Incorrect (There are 1600 students, not 250.)
-
The percent as a part-to-whole ratio is 10 over 100
- Correct (10% is represented as 10/100.)
-
The total number of students is <160.
- Incorrect (The total number of students is 1600, not less than 160.)
-
The total number of students is > 160.
- Correct (The total number of students is 1600, which is greater than 160.)
-
The percent as a part-to-whole ratio is 160 over 100.
- Incorrect (The correct ratio is 10/100 for the percentage calculation.)
-
There are 1,600 students in the school.
- Correct (This statement correctly identifies the total number of students.)
So, the three correct statements are:
- The percent as a part-to-whole ratio is 10 over 100.
- The total number of students is > 160.
- There are 1,600 students in the school.
