In sixth grade 12 out of 27 students haves a pet if there are 162 students how many would have a pet

Answer: 72 students

Step-by-step explanation:

12/27=x/162

Multiply diagonally

1944=27x

Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 27

1944/27=72

so x=72

72 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

if 12 out of 27 students have a pet, there would be 72 out of 162. I just divided 162 by 27 to see how much it was multiplied by and it was 6, so I also multiplied 12 by 6 to get 72.
