Gia reads that 0.57 of her school is male and 0.45 of her cousin’s school is male. She says that her school must have more males than her cousin's has. With the information given, is Gia correct?

Respuesta :

Yes because .57 of her school is male which is 57% and her cousins school is .45 which is 45%
45% < 57%

Answer:

No, Gia is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Gia reads that 0.57 of her school is male and 0.45 of her cousin’s school is male. Gia says that her school must have more males than her cousin's has. We are asked to justify Gia's conclusion.

0.57 means 57% of students at Gia's school are male. 0.45 mean that 45% of students at Gia's cousin school are male.

From our given information, we can only tell that majority at Gia's s school is male. The number of males will depend on the total number of students.

If Gia's cousin's school has a very large number of students than Gia's school, then 45% of a large number would be greater than 57% of a  small number.

Therefore, Gia is not correct.
