Jane gets 1/2 of a gold star each time she helps her teacher clean up the classroom after art class.How many times would Jane need to help her teacher to earn 3 while gold stars?
6/12
(1/2) x = 3
x = 6
Shouldn’t it be I don’t know
To answer this question, we can set up a simple equation. We know that Jane gets 1/2 of a gold star each time she helps her teacher. Let's assume x represents the number of times Jane needs to help her teacher.
So the equation becomes:
1/2 * x = 3
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to remove the fraction:
2 * (1/2 * x) = 2 * 3
(x/2) * 2 = 6
x = 6
Therefore, Jane would need to help her teacher 6 times to earn 3 whole gold stars.
