Answer: 640 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
given data:
number of student chosen to attend by the mayor = 160
amount this student represents of the total population = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
solution:
since [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] was chosen which is 160 this means that [tex]\frac{1}{4} is \geq 160[/tex]
therefore;
[tex]\frac{1}{4} = 160\\[/tex]
multiply both sides by 4
[tex]\frac{1}{4} . 4 = 160 .4\\= 640[/tex]
the least number of students that attend melvins school is 640.
