Suppose 8 out of every 20 students are absent from school less than five days a year . predict how many students would be absent from school less than fivce days a year out of 40,000 students

40,000 divided by 20 equals 2,000. 8 times 2,000 equals 16,000 so 16,000 out of 40,000 students would be absent from school less than five days a year.

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide
