Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that 7 desks would be used to depict it's enrollment of 2100 students.

-------------------

  • The number of desks increase as the number of students increases, thus, these measures are direct proportional, which means that a rule of three with cross multiplication is applied to find the number of desks.
  • Each desk represents 300 students. How many desks are needed for 2100 students?

1 desk - 300 students

x desks - 2100 students

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]300x = 2100[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{2100}{300}[/tex]

[tex]x = 7[/tex]

Thus, 7 desks will be used.
