Final answer:
The question lacks enough information to produce an exact number. However, based on the information we do have, we can say that 3/5, or 60%, of the class went to the holiday parties.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate how many children in 6th grade went to holiday parties, we need to know the total number of 6th grade students. The total number of students isn't provided in the question. However, we are told that (3)/(5) of these children went to the parties.
This means we would multiply the total number of children by (3/5) if we had that information. For example, if there are 100 students, then 60 of them went to holiday parties.
This is because 100 multiplied by (3/5) = 60. Therefore the problem boils down to knowing the total number of students in 6th grade in order to calculate how many students went to holiday parties in all.
