Question

There are 24 students in Ms. Woodall's. Half of the students are boys and 1/3 of the boys have brown hair. What's the number of boys who have brown hair in Ms. Woodall's class?

Answer 1

Well, we start with 24 students (as stated). We take that and divide it by 2 for the amount of BOIs. We get 12. Only 1/3 of them have brown hair, so divide 12 by 3 and we get 4. Your answer is 4.

Answer 2

4 boys have brown hair because 1/2 of 24 is 12 and 1/3 of 12 is 4
