Question

2/3 of the students in class are male. If 18 of the students are male, how many students are in the class

Answer 1

27 students

Explanation:

Split 18 into 2 to find 1/3. 18/2= 9

9= 1/3

18= 2/3

27= 3/3 or 1

Answer 2

There are 27 students.

Explanation:

Given that,

→ 2/3

→ 18 ÷ 2

→ 9 = 1/3

Now the number of students are,

→ x = (2/3) + (1/3)

→ x = 18 + 9

→ [ x = 27 ]

Hence, there are 27 students.
