Problem Understanding: Understand the problem. We are given that 2/5 of the T-shirts sold were size medium. We need to find out how many T-shirts that represents out of a total of 25,448 T-shirts sold.Calculating Medium T-shirts: Calculate the number of medium T-shirts. To find the number of medium T-shirts, we multiply the total number of T-shirts sold by the fraction that represents the medium size. Calculation: (2/5) * 25,448Performing Multiplication: Perform the multiplication. Now we perform the multiplication to find the number of medium T-shirts. Calculation: (2/5) * 25,448 = 2 * (25,448 / 5)Dividing by 5: Divide 25,448 by 5. Before multiplying by 2, we divide 25,448 by 5 to simplify the calculation. Calculation: 25,448 / 5 = 5,089.6Multiplying by 2: Multiply the result by 2. Now we multiply the result from Step 4 by 2 to find the number of medium T-shirts. Calculation: 5,089.6 * 2 = 10,179.2Rounding to Nearest Whole Number: Round to the nearest whole number. Since we cannot have a fraction of a T-shirt, we round the result to the nearest whole number. Calculation: Round 10,179.2 to 10,179
