Of the 480 students at a boy's school , 13/20 play a school sport. How many students play a sport?
well, 1/20 is 480/20 = 24
13*24 = 312
Well, let's break out the clown calculator! If we have 480 students at the school, and 13/20 of them play a sport, we can multiply those two fractions together. So, if we have 480 students times 13/20, we find that approximately 312 students play a sport. That's a lot of active clowns running around!
To find out how many students play a sport, you can multiply the total number of students by the fraction of students who play a sport.
First, let's calculate the fraction of students who play a sport:
13/20
Now, let's multiply the fraction by the total number of students:
(13/20) * 480
To simplify this calculation, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 13 and 20, which is 1:
(13/20) * 480 = (13 * 480) / (20 * 1) = 6240 / 20 = 312
Therefore, 312 students out of 480 play a sport.
To find out how many students play a sport, we need to multiply the total number of students by the fraction of students who play a sport.
First, let's calculate the number of students who play a sport by multiplying the total number of students by the fraction 13/20:
Number of students who play a sport = 480 * (13/20)
To simplify this calculation, we can divide the numerator (13) of the fraction by the denominator (20):
Number of students who play a sport = 480 * (0.65)
Now, let's calculate the number of students who play a sport:
Number of students who play a sport = 480 * 0.65
Therefore, the number of students who play a sport is 312.
