i just completely blanked on how to solve one of these questions: eighteen students went to the museum, but only one third saw the prehistoric exhibit. how many students saw the exhibit? i know that in this case, u could just divide 18 by 3, but what if i didn't know that? what is the actual way to solve it?
What you did was fine..
18(1/3)= 6
i know, but i'm not sure how to solve it, like, if it were in an actual expression or if the numbers were 27 and two fifths...i can't figure out that actual expression to write out or the formula to solve it..
same way..
27(2/5)=
just multiply the fraction by the number your multiplying it by.
That is a formula in itself.
Please write the expanded and word form of 2.089 as well as the fraction form
To solve this problem without dividing, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine the fraction that represents how many students saw the prehistoric exhibit. In this case, the fraction is one-third, which can also be written as 1/3.
2. Multiply the total number of students (18) by the fraction (1/3) to find the number of students who saw the exhibit.
18 x 1/3 = 18/1 x 1/3 = (18 x 1) / (1 x 3) = 18/3 = 6
Therefore, the answer is that six students saw the prehistoric exhibit.
By multiplying the total number of students by the fractional part representing the proportion of students who saw the exhibit, you can find the actual number of students who saw it.
