Mr. Chang’s class has 28 students, StartFraction 4 Over 7 EndFraction of whom are girls. Which equation shows how to determine the number of girls in Mr. Chang’s class?

Question

28 divided by StartFraction 4 Over 7 EndFraction = 49
28 times StartFraction 4 Over 7 EndFraction = 16
StartFraction 4 Over 7 EndFraction divided by 28 = StartFraction 1 Over 49 EndFraction
StartFraction 7 Over 4 EndFraction divided by 28 = StartFraction 1 Over 16 EndFraction

Answer 1

To determine the number of girls in Mr. Chang's class, we need to calculate \( \frac{4}{7} \) of the total number of students, which is 28. The appropriate equation for this calculation is:

\[ 28 \times \frac{4}{7} = 16 \]

Thus, the correct equation is:

28 times StartFraction 4 Over 7 EndFraction = 16.
