Liberty Center Middle School has 1,200 students. In Sophia’s class, 3 out of 4 students borrowed library books. Based on these results, how many students at the school would you expect to borrow library books?

We expect 900 students to borrow library books

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

If two variables are proportional, then one of them can be obtained as the other times a fixed number.

If x and y are proportional, then:

y=k.x

Where k is the constant of proportionality

The value of k can be obtained by dividing y/x.

That division, also called ratio gives us the proportion to be applied to future calculations.

In Sophia's class, 3 out of 4 students borrowed library books.

This gives us a proportion ratio of 3/4.

If we apply that same proportion to the rest of the Liberty Center Middle School, with 1,200 students, then, we expect to have

3 / 4 * 1200 = 900 students borrowing library books.

We expect 900 students to borrow library books

5x+10 is the correct one

hope this
