Fraction of students in band

To find

Which has more students.

Let's start.

We need to find the Percentage of students in band.

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \dfrac{5}{9} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \dfrac{5}{9} \times \dfrac{100}{1} [/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \dfrac{5 \times 100}{9 \times 1} [/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \dfrac{500}{9} [/tex]

In Percentage:-

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \cancel \dfrac{500}{9} [/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: 55.55\%[/tex]

[tex]\sf{55.55\% (Band)}<\sf{57\%(Chorus)}[/tex]

  • Chorus has more students
