Question

Saginaw Elementary school's

lost and found has a total of 72
items. Four out of 6 are
jackets, the remaining are
gloves. How many items in the
lost and found are gloves?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

If 4/6 of the items are jackets and the rest are gloves, this means 1 - 4/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 of the items are gloves in Saginaw Elementary School's lost and found.

We do 72 total items × 1/3 items are gloves = 24 items in the lost and found are gloves
