South middle school has 750?students. North middle school has 13/15 times as many students as South. Does north middle school have more or fewer than 750 students?
Less. It's just multiplication. South has 750/1 and multiply that times 13/15 to figure out norths kids. I you do 750*13/15 you get 650.
Answer : The north middle school have fewer than 750 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of students in south middle school be, x
and the number of students in north middle school be, y
Given:
Number students in south middle school = x = 750
and,
North middle school has 13/15 times as many students as South. That means,
\(y=\frac{13}{15}\times x\) ........(1)
Now put the value of 'x' in expression 1, we get:
\(y=\frac{13}{15}\times 750\)
\(y=650\)
Thus, number of students in north middle school = y = 650
From this we conclude that north middle school have fewer than 750 students.
Hence, the north middle school have fewer than 750 students.
