To find out how many problems TJ has solved already, we need to multiply the total number of problems by the fraction that represents the problems he has already solved.
So if TJ has 12 problems left and has solved 2/3 of the problems already, we can calculate the number of problems he has solved as follows:
12 problems x 2/3 = 24 problems
Therefore, TJ has solved 24 problems already.
TJ has solved 8 problems already.
To find out how many problems TJ has solved already, we can calculate 2/3 of the total number of problems.
First, we need to determine the total number of problems on TJ's math test, which is given as 12.
Next, we can calculate 2/3 of 12 by multiplying 12 by 2/3:
12 * 2/3 = 24/3 = 8
Therefore, TJ has solved 8 problems already.
