Question

The students in Nora's class chose between two options for an assignment. 5/8 of the students chose option 1. If there are 32 students in Nora's class, how many chose option 1?

A. 28

B. 24

C. 20

D. 15

Answer 1

The answer to your problem is, C. 20

Explanation:

First, find the decimal of 5/8, which is 0.625. It will be used later.

If you can recall cannot divide a decimal because it will multiply it instead.

We will have to use multiplication because since it is a decimal it is the same as dividing.

32 students, so multiply by 0.625

= 20

Thus the answer to your problem is, C. 20
