Financial aid students must pass 2/3 of their courses each term in order to continue their aid. If a student is taking 18 hours, how many hours must be passed?
well, what is 2/3 of 18?
If that stumps you, what is 1/3 of 18? Just double that.
To determine how many hours a financial aid student must pass, we first need to find two-thirds of the total number of courses the student is taking.
In this case, the student is taking 18 hours, which we can assume represents the number of courses. Therefore, we need to find two-thirds of 18.
To calculate this, multiply the total number of courses (18) by the fraction two-thirds:
2/3 * 18 = (2 * 18)/3 = 36/3 = 12
Therefore, a financial aid student taking 18 hours needs to pass 12 hours in order to continue their aid.
