A principal randomly chose 40 students from grade 7. Of these students, 9 were wearing watches. Based on this information, what is the most reasonable prediction of the number of students wearing watches in a group of 480 students from grade 7?

108 students wearing watches

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply:

9(480) = 40n

---> n = 108 students wearing watches

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
