Question

1. construct arguments a survey found that 27% of high school students and 94% of teachers and school employees drive to school. the ratio of students to employees is about 10 to 1. roger states that the number of students who drive to school is greater than the number of teachers and employees who drive to school. explain how roger’s statement could be correct.

Explanation:

Answer:

Let the number of employees be \(E\) and students be \(S\). We know \(\frac{S}{E} \approx 10\), so \(S \approx 10E\). The number of driving students is \(0.27S \approx 0.27 \times 10E = 2.7E\), and driving employees is \(0.94E\). Since \(2.7E > 0.94E\), Roger's statement is correct.
