297/11 = 27
So we have 27 groups of 11 students. If there are 2 chaperones for every 11 students, then we can do:
27x2=54
There are 54 chaperones on the field trip.
5 2/5 would be converted to 5 6/15. you would then subtract the numerators and the whole numbers, giving you 3 5/15, which simplifies to 3 1/5
2/3=x/12
Use cross multiply
2*12=3*x
24=3x
Divided both side by 3
24/3=3x/3
x=8
Check:
2/3=x/12
Substitute x with 8
2/3=8/12
2/3=(8/4)/(12/4)
2/3=2/3. As a result, x=8. Hope it help!
