On Friday and Saturday, 618 people attended a car show. If the same number of people went each day,how many people attended the car show on Saturday?
My answer is 1,236. Is my answer correct? If not please show me how to work this problem.
Does your answer make sense to you?
618 divided by 2 = ?
Thank you Ms.Sue! I see where I went wrong. Answer is 309.
Right.
You're welcome, Stephon.
To determine the number of people who attended the car show on Saturday, you need to divide the total number of people who attended the car show over the two days (618) by the number of days (2).
So, to find the number of people who attended on Saturday, you would perform the following calculation:
618 (total number of people) ÷ 2 (number of days) = 309 (number of people who attended on Saturday)
Therefore, the correct answer is 309, not 1,236.
