There is 48 students in a class. 7 out of 8 are females what percent are females?
(7/8)48 = 7*6 = 42 are female
100 (42/48) = 87.5 %
Well, if there are 48 students in the class and 7 out of 8 are females, we can use some mathematical magic to figure out the percentage.
First, let's find out how many students are females: 7/8 * 48 = 42 females.
And now, we'll calculate the percentage: (42/48) * 100 = 87.5%.
So, the class is 87.5% female. Pretty impressive! Though, it's worth mentioning math does have its advantages in answering questions like this.
To find the percentage of females in the class, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the number of females in the class.
Since 7 out of 8 students are females, you can calculate the number of females by multiplying the total number of students by 7/8.
Number of females = (Total number of students) x (7/8) = 48 x 7/8 = 42
Step 2: Calculate the percentage.
To find the percentage, divide the number of females by the total number of students and multiply by 100.
Percentage of females = (Number of females / Total number of students) x 100
Percentage of females = (42 / 48) x 100 = 0.875 x 100 = 87.5%
Therefore, approximately 87.5% of the students in the class are females.
To find out what percent of the class is female, you need to divide the number of females by the total number of students and then multiply by 100.
Step 1: Calculate the number of female students.
If there are 48 students in the class and 7 out of 8 are females, we can first find how many students are males. To do this, we subtract the number of females from the total number of students:
48 - (7/8) * 48 = 48 - 42 = 6
So, there are 6 male students in the class.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage of females.
To find the percentage of females, divide the number of female students by the total number of students and multiply by 100:
(7/8) * 48 / 48 * 100 = 87.5%
Therefore, 87.5% of the students in the class are females.
Looking at your other question I wonder if you typed this one incorrectly as well.
Could you perhaps have meant that there were 7 females for 8 males?
That would be more common.
In that case 7/15 are female
100(7/15) = 46.7 %
