At an assembly 7 out of the first 10 students who entered the gym were carrying a backpack.
Based on this information, if 700 students were at the assembly, how many students could be
expected to be carrying a backpack?____
7 out of 10 students would be a percentage of 70% which is 0.7 in decimal form. To find out how many students would be expected to be carrying a backpack out of 700 students, 700 * 0.7 = 490 students.
