Question

In all of Lydia's sixth grade, three-eighths of the students are 10 years old. If there are a total of 56 students in sixth grade, how many of them are 10?

Answer 1

The answer is 21
56/8= 7
7 is 1/8 or one-eighth
7x3=21

Answer 2

This problem is asking you to figure what number is 3/8 of 56.

“Of” means multiply so you will do 3/8x56.

The answer is 21.
