Question 8%0d%0aA)Of the 72 students who have Ms. Darnell for Health/PE, 9 have an A. At this rate, how many of the 16 students in Ms. Jay’s homeroom would you expect to have an A?

Answer 1

To find the number of students in Ms. Jay's homeroom who would be expected to have an A, we can use proportions.

The proportion of students with an A in Ms. Darnell's class is 9/72. We can set up a proportion to find the expected number of students in Ms. Jay's homeroom (let's call it x) who would have an A:

9/72 = x/16

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

72x = 9 * 16

72x = 144

Dividing both sides by 72:

x = 144/72

x = 2

Therefore, based on the given rate, we would expect 2 out of the 16 students in Ms. Jay's homeroom to have an A.
