The Kiwanis Club of Mandeville is planning to host a party for Grade 6 students enrolled at the Hatfield Primary and Junior High School. They have invited all Grade 6 students to attend the party which will be held in the auditorium at the Northern Caribbean University. The Kiwanians intend to purchase food and goodies for all the students that will attend. Each student must recelve permission from a parent indic that they can attend. You will help the Kiwanis Club to: 1. determine the fraction of students from a particula class, and the entire grade 6 cohort, that will attend; 2. deduce how many students prefer a burger only when given the option of burger and/or pizza;

When planning an event like this, it's essential to track RSVPs carefully! If each class has, say, 30 students and you get confirmations from 24 of them for the party, the fraction of attendees from that class is 24/30, which simplifies to 4/5. For the entire Grade 6 cohort, if you have a total of 120 students and 96 reply yes, the fraction attending becomes 96/120, simplifying to 4/5 as well. Now, regarding food preferences, you could conduct a quick survey asking students if they would prefer a burger, pizza, or both. If 70 students express a preference, and out of those, 50 choose burgers only, you can conclude that 50 students prefer burgers. This data helps ensure you order the right amount of food and avoid any hungry students at the party!
