Question

All 12 kids from Mrs. Appleton's class that went to the beach went swimming, but only 3/9 of hem wanted to go surfing. How many kids wanted to go surfing?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 kids

Explanation:

Since only three-ninths of Mrs. Appleton's class wanted to go surfing, we can multiply 12 by three-ninths.

`\displaystyle (12)/(1) *(3)/(9) =(36)/(9) =4`

4 kids wanted to go surfing.
