1400 students ride the school bus
Solution:
Given that Seven out of every 10 students at Round Lake school district ride a school bus
There are 2000 students in the school district
To find: number of students ride school bus
Let "x" be the number of students ride the school bus
We can solve this sum by setting up a proportion
[tex]\frac{7}{10} = \frac{\text{ number of students ride in school bus}}{\text{ total number of students}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7}{10} = \frac{x}{2000}[/tex]
On cross multiplying we get,
[tex]7 \times 2000 = 10 \times x\\\\14000 = 10x\\\\x = 1400[/tex]
Thus 1400 students ride the school bus
