80% of the 6th graders at harrison middle school are going on a field trip to the museum. there are 685 students in 6th grade. how many students are going on the field trip?

0.8 * 685 = 548 if it is not correct sorry don't know what to tell you.

Alright, let's break this problem apart, shall we?

685 sixth grade students is 100%.

What do we need to do? We need to find 80% of 100% (685 students).

80% is 0.8 of 1.0.

1.0 is 685 students.

We need to multiply 685 students by 0.8.

685 * 0.8 = 548 students.

548 students are going are going to the field-trip.
