Question

HELP!! THIS WAS DUE AT MIDNIGHT, AND I STILL HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS DUE AT MIDNIGHT

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey buddy, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

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.
