TJ has 12 problems left on his math test. He has solved 2/3 of the problems already. How many problems has TJ solved already?(1 point)
TJ has solved 2/3 * 12 problems = <<2/3*12=8>>8 problems. Answer: \boxed{8}.
To find out how many problems TJ has solved already, we need to multiply the total number of problems by the fraction he has already solved.
Total number of problems = 12
Fraction TJ has already solved = 2/3
To find out how many problems TJ has solved, we multiply:
12 x 2/3
Let's solve the multiplication:
12 x 2/3 = (12 x 2) / 3 = 24 / 3 = 8
Therefore, TJ has solved already 8 problems.
To find out how many problems TJ has already solved, you need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of problems.
Step 1: Determine the total number of problems.
TJ has 12 problems left, which means he hasn't solved them yet. To find the total number of problems, you should add the problems TJ has solved to the problems he still needs to solve.
Total problems = Problems solved + Problems left
Step 2: Calculate the problems solved.
The question states that TJ has solved 2/3 of the problems, so to find the number of problems solved, you multiply the total number of problems by 2/3.
Problems solved = Total problems * (2/3)
Step 3: Substitute the values into the equation.
Total problems = 12 problems (given)
Problems solved = 12 problems * (2/3)
Step 4: Calculate the answer.
Now you just need to perform the calculation to find the number of problems TJ has solved.
Problems solved = 12 problems * (2/3)
Problems solved = 24 / 3
Problems solved = 8
Therefore, TJ has solved 8 problems already.
thats not one of the choices you have these
36
24
48
12
I apologize for the confusion. Let's solve the problem again.
To find out how many problems TJ has already solved, you need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of problems.
Step 1: Determine the total number of problems.
TJ has 12 problems left, so the total number of problems is 12.
Step 2: Calculate the problems solved.
The question states that TJ has solved 2/3 of the problems, so to find the number of problems solved, you multiply the total number of problems by 2/3.
Problems solved = 12 x (2/3) = 24/3 = 8.
Therefore, TJ has solved 8 problems already. The correct answer choice is 8.
