Question

Two-fifths of the 6th-grade students voted for class president. If there were 150 students that voted, how many students are in 6th grade?

Answer 1

Okay so we know that there are only 150 students that voted, but we have no clue how many kids are in 6th grade. Here's how we find out:
150 / 2 = 75
5 x 75 = 375 kids in 6th grade

Sorry, but its kind of difficult to explain over the computer.

Answer 2

Total 6th graders would be 375


150/2


75*5


=375
