A Rewrite these sentences using quantifiers. Then compare with
a partner.
1. In the U.S., 69% of high school students go to college.
2. Seven percent of the people in Brazil are age 65 or older.
3. In India, 0% of the people vote before the age of 18.
To rewrite the sentences using quantifiers, we can use words that indicate a specific amount or quantity.
1. Instead of saying "69% of high school students go to college in the U.S.," we can rewrite it as "Most high school students go to college in the U.S."
2. For the sentence "Seven percent of the people in Brazil are age 65 or older," we can change it to "A small percentage of the people in Brazil are age 65 or older."
3. Lastly, to transform "In India, 0% of the people vote before the age of 18" using quantifiers, we can rephrase it as "No one in India votes before the age of 18."
These quantifiers help to convey the same information in a more generalized or specific way, depending on the context. It's important to choose the right quantifier to accurately represent the original data.
