The correct answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n To find the percentage of female students in the nursing school class, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, 87.5% of the class is female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this problem, we first calculated the number of female students based on the ratio provided (7 out of 8). Since the total number of students was given, we used this ratio to find the number of female students. Then, to find the percentage, we divided the number of female students by the total number of students and converted this fraction into a percentage. This method ensures that we accurately represent the proportion of female students in the class as a percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Correct Answer: A. 87.5%<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A nursing school enrolls 89 students, and 7 out of 8 are female.

We know that 7 out of 8 students are female. First, we need to find the number of female students by calculating 7\/8 of the total number of students. The total number of students is 89. [
\\text{Number of female students} = \\frac{7}{8} \\times 89
] To perform this calculation: [
\\frac{7}{8} \\times 89 = \\frac{7 \\times 89}{8} = \\frac{623}{8} = 77.875
] Since the number of students must be a whole number, we round 77.875 to 78. Therefore, there are approximately 78 female students.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\\text{Percentage of female students} = \\left( \\frac{78}{89} \\right) \\times 100
] Performing the division and multiplication: [
\\frac{78}{89} \\approx 0.875
] [
0.875 \\times 100 = 87.5\\%
]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
