Question

There are 36 students in Mr. Chips first block math class. 1/9 of them made a level 5 on their EOG last year. 5/6 of them made a level 4 last year. The rest made a level 3. How many of Mr. Chips first black students made a level 3?

Answer 1

2 students

Explanation:

First, you have to find how many made a level 5, so we do 36•1/9=4. So, 4 students made a level five. That leaves us with 36-4=32 students left. Next, you find the students that made a level 4. 36•5/6=30 students made a level 4, so that leaves us with 32-30=2 students that got a level 3.
