The next year 2 out of every 3 new telephone numbers will be assigned to cellular telephones.
The ratio of the cellular phone is - \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Total phones \(= 1,200,000\)
Cellular phones = \(\frac{2 * 1,200,000}{3}\) \(= 800,000\)
Answer A

Given: 2/3 of all new telephone numbers will be assigned to cell phones
Given: 1,200,000 new telephone numbers will be assigned
So, the number of new cell phone numbers = 2/3 of 1,200,000
= (2/3)(1,200,000)
= 2,400,000/3
= 800,000
Answer: A
