Question

Of the 16 children in the park, seven-eighths are wearing a red shirt. How many children in the park are wearing a red shirt?

Answer 1

14 children are wearing a red shirt in the park.

Explanation:

The fraction 7/8 is 7 out of 8 but your total kids is 16 so we can go ahead and multiply by 2.

(7*2)/(8*2)

14/16

So now it's 14 out of 16 kids which is the total you have.

Conclusion: 14 Children are wearing a red shirt in the park.
