Question

Ms. Anastasopoulos has 30 students. 4/5 of the students have pets. OF the students who have pets, 2/3 of them have a dog as a pet. What fraction of the students have a pet that is a dog?

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

since 4/5 have a pet, you would divide by 5.

30÷5=6

but since only 4 have a pet, you would multiply that by 4 to get 4/5

6×4=24

24 students have pets

now you would divide by 3, as 2/3 have a dog

24÷3=8

but only 2/3 have dog, so you would multiply by 2

8×2=16

I'm sure there is a simpler way but this is how I would do it.
