Question

There are 60 sixth graders taking an
online math class. Only 25% are
planning to attend the virtual field
trip to learn about math careers.
How many sixth graders will be
attending the virtual field trip?

Answer 1

Hello!

The answer is:

There will be 15 graders attending the virtual field trip.

Why?

We know that there are 60 sixth graders taking an online math classes but only 25% are planning to attend the virtual field trip, so,  if we want to calculate how many sixth graders will be attending the virtual field trip, we need to calculate the 25% of the total sixth graders

Before solving, we need to convert the given percent number (25%) to a real number by dividing it by 100, so, solving we have:

$\frac{25(percent)}{100}=0.25$

Now, calculating how many graders are 25% of the total graders, we have:

$GradersAttending=TotalGraders*PercentOfGradersAttendingTheVirtualTrip$

$GradersAttending=60graders*0.25=15graders$

So, we have that there will be 15 graders attending the virtual field trip.

Have a nice day!

Answer 2

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

To get 25% of 60, you need to divide 25 by 10, your answer should be 0.25, next, you multiply 0.25 by 60, the answer if 15, another way, is by multiplying 15 by 4, that would make 60. (Have a great day, hope this helps, please mark me brainliest if it does help, sorry for answering really late)
