The expression for the number of sixth graders in terms of x is [tex]n = \frac{2x}{7}[/tex]
Given that , [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] of the students in school are in sixth grade
To find: Expression for number of sixth graders
Let the total number of students in school be "x"
From given statement,
[tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] of the students in school are in sixth grade
Which means, [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] of total number of students are in sixth grade
Let "n" be the number of students in sixth grade
Then by given statement,
n = [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] of total number of students
[tex]n = \frac{2}{7} \text{ of } x\\\\n = \frac{2}{7} \times x\\\\n = \frac{2x}{7}[/tex]
Thus the expression in terms of x is found
