Question

Twenty-four students brought their permission slips to attend the class field

trip to the local art museum. If this represented eight tenths of the class, how
many students are in the class? Use a bar diagram to solve arithmetically.
Then use an equation to solve algebraically.

Answer 1

6 Students stayed in class

30 Students in Total

Explanation:

Since there are 8/10 people on the trip, you divide the numerator(8) by 24

24 divided by 8 is 3. Also 3 x 8 is 24 so its proper

3 x 2 is 6 and 6 + 24 is 30

30 is 10/10 in this question so 6 is the answer for those who stayed in class and there is 30 in total
