Ms. Garcia surveyed the students in her class to find out if they own a pet. Two-thirds of the class, or 8 students, own a pet. Complete the equation that models the total number of students, t, in Ms. Garcia's class. (1 point)

___ t = ___

2/3 t = 8

To find the equation that models the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class, we need to use the given information. We are told that two-thirds of the class, or 8 students, own a pet.

Let's set up the equation.

The phrase "two-thirds of the class" can be represented as 2/3 of t, where t is the total number of students in the class. This can be written as:

(2/3) t

Now, we know that this expression is equal to 8 students. So, we set up the equation:

(2/3) t = 8

Hence, the complete equation that models the total number of students, t, in Ms. Garcia's class is:

(2/3) t = 8
