Question

In one class, there are 2 of every 8 students in the class chewing

gum. If there are 32 students in the class, how many students are
chewing gum?

Answer 1

8 people are chewing gum

Explanation:

32/8=4, meaning there are 4 sets of 8 students.

If 2 students are chewing gum for every 8, and there are 32 students, that would mean that multiplying 4 by 2 to get 8 total kids chewing gum.

You could also say that 6*4=24, and 32-24=8 if you want to double check.

Hope this helps :)
