there are 36 cheerleaders in the

school, how many should she expect

to forget their bows?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{72}{q}$ number of cheerleaders, she would expect to forget their bows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kaley estimates that 2 out of every q cheerleaders will forget to bring their bows for practice.

So, if there are q cheerleaders then 2 of them will forget to bring their bows.

Then if there are 1 cheerleader then $\frac{2}{q}$ of them will forget to bring their bows.

Finally,  if there are 36 cheerleaders then $\frac{2 \times 36}{q} = \frac{72}{q}$ of them will forget to bring their bows.

Therefore, $\frac{72}{q}$ number of cheerleaders, she would expect to forget their bows. (Answer)
