Ms. shoemaker has 35 students in her classroom. Of those students 6/7 are right handed and 4/5 of te right handed students have brown eyes. How many right handed brown eyed students are in the class.
Yes. 24 is correct.
(6/7) * (4/5) * (35/1) = ?
6/7 * 35/1 = 210/7=30 right handed students
4/5 * 30/1 = 120/5 = 24 right-handed brown -eyed students
I would have never guessed that! :)
35
I mean 24
No. 35 can't be right. That's the total number of students in the classroom.
(6/7) * (4/5) * (35/1) =
24
To find the number of right-handed brown-eyed students in the class, we need to multiply the number of right-handed students by the fraction that represents the proportion of right-handed students with brown eyes.
First, let's find the number of right-handed students in the class. We know that 6/7 of the students are right-handed, so we can calculate it as follows:
Number of right-handed students = (6/7) * 35
To find the number of right-handed students with brown eyes, we need to multiply the number of right-handed students by the fraction that represents the proportion of right-handed students with brown eyes. We are given that 4/5 of the right-handed students have brown eyes. Therefore, we can calculate it as follows:
Number of right-handed brown-eyed students = (4/5) * (6/7) * 35
We can simplify this expression by multiplying the fractions together:
Number of right-handed brown-eyed students = (4/5) * (6/7) * 35
Number of right-handed brown-eyed students = (24/35) * 35
The 35 in the numerator and denominator cancels out, so we are left with:
Number of right-handed brown-eyed students = 24
Therefore, there are 24 right-handed brown-eyed students in Ms. Shoemaker's class.
