Question

On picture day, 3 times as many girls wore dresses rather than pants. If there are 12 girls in the class, how many wore a dress?

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

3 * 12 = 36

if there are 12 girls and 3 times more wore dress then 3 times 12 is 36.

Answer 2

I'm kind of thinking the answer might be 4

Explanation:

If there are 12 girls it cant be 12*3. this would be 36 but the passage specifically said there were 12 girls. So with that information, we can divide. 12/3 =4.

therefore your answer would be 4.
