Q. In School District X, 6.9% of the 29 students in Ms. Walker's sixthgrade class identify as Asian. The average sixth-grade class size in the school district is 29 . If the students in Ms. Walker's class are representative of students in the school district's sixth-grade classes and there are 112 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?Choose 1 answer:(A) 3,248(B) 3,024(C) 1,007(D) 224
Calculate Asian Students: First, we need to calculate the number of students who identify as Asian in Ms. Walker's class.6.9% of 29 students = 0.069×29
Perform Calculation: Now, let's perform the calculation.0.069×29=2.001Since we cannot have a fraction of a student, we round to the nearest whole number, which is 2 students.
Find Total Students: Next, we need to find out the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. Since there are 112 classes and each class has an average of 29 students, we multiply the two numbers. Total students = 112 classes ×29 students/class
Estimate Asian Students: Let's do the multiplication to find the total number of students. 112×29=3,248
Estimate Non-Asian Students: Now, we need to estimate the number of students who identify as Asian across the entire district.Since 2 students in a class of 29 identify as Asian, we can use this ratio to estimate the number for the whole district.Number of Asian students in the district = 2 students/class ×112 classes
Estimate Non-Asian Students: Now, we need to estimate the number of students who identify as Asian across the entire district.Since 2 students in a class of 29 identify as Asian, we can use this ratio to estimate the number for the whole district.Number of Asian students in the district = 2 students/class ×112 classesWe perform the multiplication to find the estimated number of Asian students in the district.2×112=224
Estimate Non-Asian Students: Now, we need to estimate the number of students who identify as Asian across the entire district. Since 2 students in a class of 29 identify as Asian, we can use this ratio to estimate the number for the whole district. Number of Asian students in the district = 2 students/class ×112 classes We perform the multiplication to find the estimated number of Asian students in the district. 2×112=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
Estimate Non-Asian Students: Now, we need to estimate the number of students who identify as Asian across the entire district.Since 2 students in a class of 29 identify as Asian, we can use this ratio to estimate the number for the whole district.Number of Asian students in the district = 2 students/class ×112 classesWe perform the multiplication to find the estimated number of Asian students in the district.2×112=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.Number of non-Asian students = Total students - Number of Asian studentsLet's do the subtraction to find the final answer.3,248−224=3,024
