24 students. 2/3 have brown hair, the rest blond hair. How many students have brown hair. What fraction of the students have blonde hair and how many students is that?
Divide 24 by 2/3 = 16
Divide 24 by 1/3 = 8
Sra
Brown Hair: 2/3 of 24= 2*24/3=2*8=16
the rest? 1/3 of 24= 24/8=8
check: 16+8=24
To find out how many students have brown hair, we can start by finding 2/3 of the total number of students.
To calculate 2/3 of a number, we multiply the number by 2 and then divide the result by 3.
So, for 24 students:
(2/3) * 24 = (2 * 24) / 3 = 48/3 = 16
Therefore, 16 students have brown hair.
Now, to determine the fraction of students with blond hair, we can subtract the fraction of students with brown hair from 1.
The fraction of students with blond hair is equal to 1 - (2/3) = 3/3 - 2/3 = 1/3.
To find the number of students with blond hair, we multiply the fraction by the total number of students.
(1/3) * 24 = 24/3 = 8.
Hence, there are 8 students with blond hair.
