Mandy noticed that out of 25 students entering the building at Willowville Elementary
School this moming. 10 of them were carrying a lunch box. If these students are
representative of the entire school, how many of the Willowville's 150 students would you
expect to have brought a lunch box?

Answer:
About 60.
Step-by-step explanation:
10 of the 25 were carrying the lunchboxes.
This is a fraction of 10/25.
And now we compare it to the 150 students in the student body, like the following:
10 = x
25 = 150
(It won't let me underline, but those are fractions)
Then you multiply the 150 by the 10. This is cross multiplication.
Then divide by the 25. 1,500 divided by 25 is 60.
Of course, that is an exact answer but it varies as some might forget a lunch or decide to bring it, etc.
