Answer 1

189 students

Explanation:

To solve this question, use the given values in the question and create an equation using these values. Make x = number of students.

2/9 of x (represents total number of students in school) is equal to 42, so create an equation for this.

• 2/9x = 42

Divide both sides of the equation by 2/9.

• x = 189

Since x represents the total number of students in the school, there are 189 students in the school.
