To find out how many students participated in the charity bike rally, we can multiply the total number of students at Heartsworth Middle School by the fraction of students who participated.
First, let's calculate this fraction. It is given that 2/3 of the student population participated, which means that out of every 3 students, 2 participated. So, the fraction of students who participated is 2/3.
Next, we multiply this fraction by the total number of students at Heartsworth Middle School to find the number of participants:
Number of participants = (2/3) * total number of students
Substituting the given values:
Number of participants = (2/3) * 1200
To calculate this, we can find two-thirds of 1200 by performing the following calculation:
Number of participants = (2/3) * 1200
= (2/3) * 1200/1
= (2 * 1200) / (3 * 1)
= 2400 / 3
= 800
Therefore, 800 students participated in the charity bike rally at Heartsworth Middle School.
