Question: 263
9. One-fifth of the students in a class chose recycling as the topic for their science projects. If four students chose recycling, how many students are in the class?
- A. 4
- B. 10
- C. 16
- D. 20
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D For word problem questions, translate the words to their math equivalents: if 4 (the students who chose recycling) is equal to one-fifth of the students in the class, then 4 = × n, where n is the number of students in the class. To solve, multiply both sides by 5, and n = 20. There are 20 students in the class. The correct choice is (D).
