Evan told his class that the people in his family have 14 legs in all. Quinton said that there must be 7 people in Evan's family. Is Quinton correct?Explain.
To determine whether Quinton is correct or not, we need to understand the information given and the reasoning behind his conclusion. According to Evan, the people in his family have a total of 14 legs.
Since each person has two legs, we can divide the total number of legs by two to find the number of people in Evan's family. In this case, 14 legs divided by 2 legs per person equals 7 people.
Therefore, Quinton's conclusion that there must be 7 people in Evan's family is correct based on the given information and reasoning.
