At a fair 3/8 of the student work was projects and 20 were crafts. How many students were involved?
To find the number of students involved, we can use the information given.
We are told that 3/8 of the student work was projects, and we know that 20 of the student work was crafts.
Let's set up an equation to solve for the number of students involved:
3/8 * Total student work + 20 = Total student work
To find the common denominator, we multiply 8 by 20, which gives us:
3 * (20/8) + 20 = Total student work
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
3 * 2.5 + 20 = Total student work
Multiplying 3 by 2.5 gives us:
7.5 + 20 = Total student work
Adding the numbers together, we get:
27.5 = Total student work
Since the number of students involved cannot be a decimal, it's likely that there is a typo or an error in the given information. Please review the information provided and rephrase the question if necessary.
