Alocal university has 2.815 hispanic students out of a total student population of 20.250. do the hispanic students have proportional representation at the university?

race percent of population

white 45
hispanic 27
black 18
asian 7
other 3


b. how many more hispanic students would the university need n order for the hispanic students to ave proportional representation?

Given:
The race percent of population is
White:      45%
Hispanic: 27%
Black:       18%
Asian:        7%
Other:        3%

Part a.
The university has 2,815 Hispanic out of the 20,250 total population.
This is equivalent to (2815/20250)*100 = 13.9%
This percentage is less than 27%, so Hispanics do not have proportional representation.

The Hispanic students do not have proportional representation.

Part b.
Let x =  the extra number of Hispanic students needed for proportional representation of 27% or 0.27.
Then
(2815 + x)/20250 = 0.27
2815 + x = 20250*0.27 = 5467.5
x = 5467.5 - 2815 = 2652.5

This means that 2,653 extra Hispanic students are required for a population of 20,250 students.

2,653 extra Hispanic students.

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
