Question

During 5/8 of the 72 physical education classes, Ethan played games involving running. During how many of this years physical education classes did Ethan have to run?

Answer 1

Ethan has to run in 45 classes

Here, we want to get the number of games that involved running

Mathematically, what we have to do here is to calculate the number in the fraction

We have this as;

`(5)/(8)\text{ of 72 = }(5)/(8)*\text{ 72 = 45}`
