Q. In School District X, 6.9% 6.9 \% of the 2929 students in Ms. Walker's sixthgrade class identify as Asian. The average sixth-grade class size in the school district is 2929 . If the students in Ms. Walker's class are representative of students in the school district's sixth-grade classes and there are 112112 sixth-grade classes in the district, which of the following best estimates the number of sixth-grade students in the school district who do not identify as Asian?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 33,248248\newline(B) 33,024024\newline(C) 11,007007\newline(D) 224224
  1. Calculate Asian Students: First, we need to calculate the number of students who identify as Asian in Ms. Walker's class.\newline6.9%6.9\% of 2929 students = 0.069×290.069 \times 29
  2. Perform Calculation: Now, let's perform the calculation.\newline0.069×29=2.0010.069 \times 29 = 2.001\newlineSince we cannot have a fraction of a student, we round to the nearest whole number, which is 22 students.
  3. Find Total Students: Next, we need to find out the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. Since there are 112112 classes and each class has an average of 2929 students, we multiply the two numbers. Total students = 112112 classes ×\times 2929 students/class
  4. Estimate Asian Students: Let's do the multiplication to find the total number of students. 112×29=3,248112 \times 29 = 3,248
  5. Estimate Non-Asian Students: Now, we need to estimate the number of students who identify as Asian across the entire district.\newlineSince 22 students in a class of 2929 identify as Asian, we can use this ratio to estimate the number for the whole district.\newlineNumber of Asian students in the district = 22 students/class ×\times 112112 classes
  6. Estimate Non-Asian Students: Now, we need to estimate the number of students who identify as Asian across the entire district.\newlineSince 22 students in a class of 2929 identify as Asian, we can use this ratio to estimate the number for the whole district.\newlineNumber of Asian students in the district = 22 students/class ×\times 112112 classesWe perform the multiplication to find the estimated number of Asian students in the district.\newline2×112=2242 \times 112 = 224
  7. Estimate Non-Asian Students: Now, we need to estimate the number of students who identify as Asian across the entire district. Since 22 students in a class of 2929 identify as Asian, we can use this ratio to estimate the number for the whole district. Number of Asian students in the district = 22 students/class ×\times 112112 classes We perform the multiplication to find the estimated number of Asian students in the district. 2×112=2242 \times 112 = 224 Finally, to find the number of students who do not identify as Asian, we subtract the estimated number of Asian students from the total number of students. Number of non-Asian students = Total students - Number of Asian students
  8. Estimate Non-Asian Students: Now, we need to estimate the number of students who identify as Asian across the entire district.\newlineSince 22 students in a class of 2929 identify as Asian, we can use this ratio to estimate the number for the whole district.\newlineNumber of Asian students in the district = 22 students/class ×\times 112112 classesWe perform the multiplication to find the estimated number of Asian students in the district.\newline2×112=2242 \times 112 = 224Finally, to find the number of students who do not identify as Asian, we subtract the estimated number of Asian students from the total number of students.\newlineNumber of non-Asian students = Total students - Number of Asian studentsLet's do the subtraction to find the final answer.\newline3,248224=3,0243,248 - 224 = 3,024
