Overall Score: [tex]$15\%$[/tex]

14. In a class, [tex]$\frac{3}{4}$[/tex] of the 36 pupils are expected to achieve a grade C or above. How many pupils in the class are expected to achieve a grade C or above?

Answer:



Answer :

To determine how many students in the class are expected to achieve a grade C or above, we will follow these logical steps:

1. Understand the Given Values:
- Total number of students in the class: 36
- Fraction of students expected to achieve grade C or above: [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex]

2. Calculate the Number of Students Expected to Achieve Grade C or Above:
- To find the number of students expected to achieve a grade C or above, we need to multiply the total number of students by the fraction expected to pass.

3. Perform the Calculation:
- Multiply 36 (total students) by [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex] (fraction passing).

[tex]\[ \text{Number of students expected to achieve grade C or above} = 36 \times \frac{3}{4} \][/tex]

4. Simplify the Result to Find the Answer:
- [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex] of 36 is 27.

Therefore, 27 students in the class are expected to achieve a grade C or above.
