7 out of every 500 Americans are aged 13-17 years generation are vegetarian
Thus the ratio of the vegetarian is 7 : 500
In a group of 350,
Let x be the number of people who are vegetarian
So, the ratio out of 350 who are vegetarian are : x : 350
SInce the ratio is same so:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7\text{ : 500=x:250} \\ \frac{7}{500}=\frac{x}{250} \\ \text{ Simplify for x,} \\ x=\frac{7}{500}\times250 \\ x=\frac{7}{2} \\ x=3.5 \\ x\approx4 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the number of people who are vegetarian out of 350 people is 4 people
