Question

12 out of 18 students buy pizza for lunch on Fridays. At this rate if there are 240 students in the entire school, how many students can be expected to buy pizza for lunch this Friday?

Answer 1

160. This is because u take the total(240) divide it by 18 and multiply by 12.


however, you can also simplifiy the fraction (12/18) into (2/3) and divide by the bottom denominator (3) and multiply by the top numerator. ;)
