The ratio of the students who own a pet to the total number of students in the pet school is 5:6 ; Therefore, using this ratio, the number of students who own a pet out of the total students of 900 will be 750
- If 5 of 6 students own a pet ;
- The Fraction of pet owners out of the students can be represented as a fraction = 5/6
- Hence, 5/6 of the total students in the school owns a pet
- Total number of students in the school is given as = 900
- Total number of students who own a pet can be calculated thus :
- Total number of students × (fraction who own pets)
- 900 × (5/6) = 900 × 0.833333 = 750
Therefore,a total of 750 students own a pet.
