Answer:

Jordan had 18 coins. Two-thirds of the coins were dimes. How many coins were dimes?

Min had 18 quarters. He used 2/3 of the quarters to play arcade games. How many quarters did Min use?

Explanation:

2/3 × 18

Checking all options

Sarah mixed 18 ounces of orange juice with 23 ounce of pineapple juice. How many ounces of juice did she have in all?

Ounces of orange juice = 18

Ounces of pineapple juice = 23

Total ounces of juice = 18 + 23

= 41 ounces

A container held 18 ounces of water. Two-thirds of the water leaked out of the container. How many ounces of water were left in the container?

Total water in the container = 18

Water leaked out = 2/3

Ounces of water left = 18 - 2/3(18)

= 18 - 36/3

= 18 - 12

= 6

Jordan had 18 coins. Two-thirds of the coins were dimes. How many coins were dimes?

Total Number of coins = 18

Dimes = 2/3 of 18

Number of dimes = 2/3 × 18

= 36 / 3

= 12

Min had 18 quarters. He used 2/3 of the quarters to play arcade games. How many quarters did Min use?

Total quarters = 18

Quarters used for game = 2/3 × 18

= 2/3 × 18

= 36 / 3

= 12
