Suppose 8 kids are running a mile. 3/4 of the kids ran the mile in less than 10 minutes. How many kids finished the mile in less than 10 minutes.
(3/4)8 = 3 (2) = 6
3/4 * 8 = 24/4 = 6
To find out how many kids finished the mile in less than 10 minutes, we need to calculate 3/4 of 8.
To do this, we multiply 8 by 3/4:
8 * (3/4) = 24/4 = 6
Therefore, 6 kids finished the mile in less than 10 minutes.
