Answer:
16 students
Step-by-step explanation:
144 students enter a spelling bee contest.
Step 1
For the semi final round we are told that only 1/6 of the group will make it into that round.
This is calculated as
1/6 × 144/students = 24 students.
This means that only 24 students would make it into the semi final rounds.
Step 2
We are also told in the question that only 2/3 of THAT group would make it into the final round.
" THAT" group been referred to in the question means the number students that made it to the semi final round
This is calculated as
2/3 of that group( the group that made it to the semi finals)
= 2/3 × 24 students
= 16 students.
Therefore, the number of students that will enter the final round of the spelling bee is 16 students.
