A survey reported that out of 50 teenagers, 9 said they get their news from a newspaper. At this rate, how many out of 300 teenagers would you expect to get their news from a newspaper?
54 teenagers
Cross multiply and solve for x.
9/50 = x/300
To find out how many out of 300 teenagers would be expected to get their news from a newspaper, we can use proportions.
First, let's form a proportion using the given information:
Number of teenagers who get news from a newspaper / Total number of teenagers = Number of teenagers who get news from a newspaper / Total number of teenagers in the survey
So, we have:
9 / 50 = x / 300
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
(9 * 300) / 50 = x
x = 54
Therefore, we would expect around 54 out of 300 teenagers to get their news from a newspaper.
