Question

Vince said his survey showed 2/3 of his math class liked rap music. There are 24 students in the class. Is it possible that Vince's survey is correct?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Sure, this survey result could be correct. (2/3) x 24 = 16 students that said that they liked rap. This is a whole number, so sure, his survey result it possible.

(If he said that, for example, 1/11 of the class liked rap and there were 24 students, (1/11) x 24 = 2.18, and you can't have a fraction of a person for this type of survey result, so that wouldn't be a valid survey result!)
