Question

About 13 out of 24 homes have a personal computer. On a street with 96 homes, how many computers would you expect to have?

Answer 1

Answer: 52 computers

Explanation:

First, take 96 divided by 24 = 4

Then take 13 times 4 = 52 computers

Answer 2

Answer: 52 computers

Step-by-step explanation: 96 is four times 24, meaning the expected amount of computers can be identified by multiplying the numerator by 4:

13 × 4 = 52

24 × 4 = 96

Our fraction is 52/96, which can be reduced to 13/24.

On a street with 96 people, 52 computers are expected throughout all 96 houses.
