Calculate Asian Students: First, we need to calculate the number of Asian students in Ms. Walker's class. $\newline$ $6.9\%$ of $29$ students identify as Asian. $\newline$ Number of Asian students in one class = $6.9\%$ of $29$
Total Asian Students: Perform the calculation to find the number of Asian students in one class. $\newline$ Number of Asian students in one class = $0.069 \times 29$
Total Students in District: Calculate the exact number of Asian students in Ms. Walker's class. $\newline$ Number of Asian students in one class $= 2.001$ $\newline$ Since we cannot have a fraction of a student, we round to the nearest whole number. $\newline$ Number of Asian students in one class $\approx 2$ students
Non-Asian Students: Next, we calculate the total number of Asian students in all the sixth-grade classes in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $=$ Number of Asian students in one class $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 2 \times 112$
Non-Asian Students: Next, we calculate the total number of Asian students in all the sixth-grade classes in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $=$ Number of Asian students in one class $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 2 \times 112$ Perform the calculation to find the total number of Asian students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 224$
Non-Asian Students: Next, we calculate the total number of Asian students in all the sixth-grade classes in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $=$ Number of Asian students in one class $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 2 \times 112$ Perform the calculation to find the total number of Asian students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 224$ Now, we need to find the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $=$ Average class size $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $= 29 \times 112$
Non-Asian Students: Next, we calculate the total number of Asian students in all the sixth-grade classes in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $=$ Number of Asian students in one class $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 2 * 112$ Perform the calculation to find the total number of Asian students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 224$ Now, we need to find the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $=$ Average class size $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $= 29 * 112$ Perform the calculation to find the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $= 3248$
Non-Asian Students: Next, we calculate the total number of Asian students in all the sixth-grade classes in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $=$ Number of Asian students in one class $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 2 \times 112$ Perform the calculation to find the total number of Asian students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 224$ Now, we need to find the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $=$ Average class size $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $= 29 \times 112$ Perform the calculation to find the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $= 3248$ Finally, we calculate the number of sixth-grade students who do not identify as Asian. $\newline$ Number of students who do not identify as Asian $=$ Total number of sixth-grade students - Total number of Asian students $\newline$ Number of students who do not identify as Asian $= 3248 - 224$
Non-Asian Students: Next, we calculate the total number of Asian students in all the sixth-grade classes in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $=$ Number of Asian students in one class $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 2 \times 112$ Perform the calculation to find the total number of Asian students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of Asian students in the district $= 224$ Now, we need to find the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $=$ Average class size $*$ Total number of sixth-grade classes $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $= 29 \times 112$ Perform the calculation to find the total number of sixth-grade students in the district. $\newline$ Total number of sixth-grade students in the district $= 3248$ Finally, we calculate the number of sixth-grade students who do not identify as Asian. $\newline$ Number of students who do not identify as Asian $=$ Total number of sixth-grade students $-$ Total number of Asian students $\newline$ Number of students who do not identify as Asian $*$ $0$ Perform the calculation to find the number of students who do not identify as Asian. $\newline$ Number of students who do not identify as Asian $*$ $1$
