Question

There are n quests at owen's birthday party 2/3 of the quests at his party are boys there are 12 boys at the party find N

Answer 1

To determine the total number of guests at the party, we use the ratio 2/3 = 12/N and find that N, which represents the total number of guests, is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to determine the total number of guests (represented by the variable N) at Owen's birthday party given that 2/3 of the guests are boys and that there are 12 boys in total. To find N, we can use the proportion relationship given by 2/3=N/12.

First, we cross multiply to get:

• 2 * 12 = 3 * N
• 24 = 3 * N

Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for N:

• 24 / 3 = N
• 8 = N

Therefore, there are 8 guests in total at Owen's birthday party.
