Question 6 A class survey showed that 3 out of 4 students in Ms. Ling's class own a pet. Based on this result, how many of the 900 students in the school own a pet? Use any strategy to solve. \( \begin{array}{ll}125 & \text { students }\end{array} \)

Did you know that surveys can give us a sneak peek into the lives of others? In Ms. Ling’s class, this survey not only tells us that 3 out of 4 students are pet owners, but it’s a fun reminder of how beloved pets are – they’re like family to many! With 900 students in the school, we can calculate that approximately 675 students (that’s \( \frac{3}{4} \times 900 \)) have furry (or scaly!) friends waiting for them at home. An easy way to avoid common mistakes in math problems like this is to break the problem down into manageable steps. First, find the fraction of students with pets (3 out of 4), then multiply it by the total number of students (900) to get your answer. Watch out for those detail slips—like misreading the fraction, as it can lead you astray! Keep it simple, and you’ll pet-sively get it right. 🐾
