Answer:
Mr. Smiths class has 12 students and Mrs. Brown's class has 10 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
if 1/3 of the class is absent and that amount is four you would multiply 4 by 3 and get 12. If 2/5 of the class are missing and there 4 students first you would divide 4 by 2 and get 2, then you would take the 2 and multiply it by 5 and get 10.
Three reasons why the other method is not better is because to use drawing program would mean you would need some sort of technology and electricity to use it and some places, like third world countries, do not have access to that, so most probably you would have to resort to paper. Also, drawing programs are based off the skills needed to create geometric figures with a straightedge and compass. And lastly, what if we had no more technology anymore? Then how would we use a drawing program? Drawing programs are only reliable when electricity is located.
