Answer:
Reasonable prediction = 240 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
6 out of every 8 students own a pet.
Ratio = 6 : 8
Number of students surveyed = 320
Predicted number of students who own pets = x
Ratio = x : 320
As the relationship is proportional;
6 : 8 :: x : 320
Product of mean = Product of extreme
8x = 320 * 6
8x = 1920
Dividing both sides by 8
[tex]\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{1920}{8}\\x=240[/tex]
Hence,
Reasonable prediction = 240 students
