I think what the teacher wants to express is that SI units are much more convenient to use than English units because the prefixes of the metric system will give you an idea on the conversion factor. Unlike English units, like ft to yard, there is no prefix to help you. You have to know the fact that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet.
480 + 192 = 672 students total
16 + 12 = 28 classrooms total
672/28 = 24 students per room
24 * 12 = 288 students that need to be in school B
288 - 192 = 96 students who have to transfer
I'm pretty sure that it would be 1/2 since it says 1/3 each whole, which in this case it would be 1/3 each hour.
Answer: 11/3 or 3 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple to do this as the 11 and 15 can be simplified as 1 goes in 11... 11 times and 5 goes into 15... 3 times. Thus 11/3.
