Question

There are 32 students in a class. Of the class, 3/8 of the students bring their own lunches. How many students bring their lunches?​

Answer 1

12 students brought there own lunch.

Answer 2

12 students

Explanation:

We know that there are 32 students in a class and 3/8ths of those students bring their own lunches, so we need to find 3/8ths of 32, to find out the number of students that bring their own lunches.

Multiply 3/8 and 32

3/8 ×32

we can reduce each by 8

3×4=12

12 students.

You can double check by doing 12/32, and seeing that it is equal to 3/8

Hope this helps! :)
