Next school year, 2 out of every 7 students plan te take an elective computer course. if there are 2464 students at the high school, how many computer students should the school plan for?
2 out of every 7 students plan to take the course....that means 5 out of every students do not plan to take it. So 2/7 of the total students plan to take it and 5/7 of the total students do not plan to take it.
so 2/7 of 2464 plan to take the course.....2/7(2464) = 4928/7 = 704 students ...the school need to plan for 704 students <==
