Question

There are 30 students in Ms. Lander's fifth-grade class. On

Monday 3/10 of the students stayed home with a cold. How
many students stayed home?

Answer 1

3 students

Explanation:

There are 30 students in Mrs. Woodward’s class.

1/5 of the class has their own cell phone, so

1/5 x 30 = 1/5 x 30/1 =6 students have their own cell phones.

1/2 of those 6 students are allowed to use social media. So, 1/2 x 6 = 1/2 x 6/1 =3.
