The teacher said that 1/3 of her class was absent. If there are 24 students in her class, how many were absent?
(1/3) * 24 = 24/3 = 8
To find out how many students were absent, you need to calculate one-third of the total number of students in the class.
First, you can find one-third of a number by dividing that number by 3. In this case, you would divide 24 by 3.
24 รท 3 = 8
So, one-third of 24 is 8. Therefore, there were 8 students absent from the class.
