On Fridays, 5 out of 8 staff
members wear Spirit Shirts. There are
136 staff members. If the ratio
remains the same, how many teachers
will not be wearing Spirit Shirts this
Friday?
5 out of 8 is a percentage of 62.5 which you can find by dividing 5 by 8. so use 62.5% to find how many people out of 136 WILL be wearing shirts which equals 85. So 136 - 85 = 51 so 51 staff members will NOT be wearing spirit shirts.
