Mr. Jones has taken a survey of college students and found that 48 out of 64 students are liberal arts majors. If a college has 7693 students, what is the best estimate of the number of students who are liberal arts majors?

Respuesta :

So

To find the best estimate of the number of students who are liberal arts majors, we could do the following:

Since we know that 48 out of 64 students are liberal arts majors and there are 7693 students, then:

[tex]\frac{48\cdot7693}{64}=5769.75\approx5770[/tex]

Therefore, 5770 students are liberal arts majors.
