You can put this solution on YOUR website! At the last school pep rally, 3 out of every 7 students wore school colors.
Based on this information, if 350 students attend the next pep rally, how many of these students will wear school colors?
:
It says 3 out of a TOTAL of 7 students or 3/7 * 100 ~ 43%
You can solve it: 3/7 * 350 = 150 students word
:
It is not a ratio, the ratio of students who wore to those that did not would be:
3:4
