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
Two-thirds of the class is 8 students, so we have 8 as the numerator and x as the denominator in the fraction 8/x. The equation that models the total number of students in Ms. Garcia’s class is 8/x=t.
