there are nine children and Kenneth preschool class three of them chose to play at the sand table based on past data is 12 preschoolers are at school today how many should you expect to play at the sand table

4 are playing at the sand table

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 9 kids at Kenneth's preschool and 3 were playing, thats one third of the kids(3x3=9). One third of 12 is 4(3x4=12) Basically since there were 9 total kids, and 3 at the sand table, they are divided equally in groups of three so you just divide 12 by 3 too and thats how you get 4
