Question: 1 / 400

In a class of 216 recruits with 1/3 being African American and 1/4 Hispanic, how many recruits are Caucasian?

94

90

To determine the number of Caucasian recruits in the class, we first need to calculate the number of African American and Hispanic recruits based on the total number of recruits, which is 216.

The number of African American recruits is calculated by taking 1/3 of 216:

\[

\text{African American recruits} = \frac{1}{3} \times 216 = 72

\]

Next, we calculate the number of Hispanic recruits by taking 1/4 of 216:

\[

\text{Hispanic recruits} = \frac{1}{4} \times 216 = 54

\]

Now, we can find the total number of recruits that are either African American or Hispanic:

\[

\text{Total of African American and Hispanic recruits} = 72 + 54 = 126

\]

To find the number of Caucasian recruits, we subtract the total number of African American and Hispanic recruits from the total number of recruits:

\[

\text{Caucasian recruits} = 216 - 126 = 90

\]

Thus, the number of Caucasian recruits in the class is 90.
