Twenty four students brought their permission slips to attend the class field trip to the local art museum. if this represented
eight tenths of the class, how many students are in the class? use a bar diagram to solve arithmetically. then use an equation to solve algebraically? EQUATION: SOLUTION:
I don't know how to use as a bar diagram, but all I know is the solution is 30 students in the class. 8/10=24, so 10/10=x, since (10/10)/(8/10)= 5/4, then you multiply 24 by 5/4 to get 30 students as your answer.
