Question

Ashley needs to memorize words on a vocabulary list for Latin class. She has memorized 48 of the words, which is two-thirds of the list. How many words are on the list ?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 72 words on the list.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 48 is 2/3 of the total number then we can divide 48 by 2 to get 1/3 of the total which is 24.

All you need to now is multiply 24 by 3 to get 3/3 or the total number which would be 72.

Hope this helps!
