Question

2/9 of the students are in sixth-grade

a. How many sixth graders are there if the school has 90 students?

b. How many sixth graders are there if the school has 270 students?

Answer 1

19.8/90

59.4/270

Answer 2

a. 20

b. 60

Explanation:

For this problem you could want to multiply 2/9 and 90, to get the first one, and the second one by doing 2/9 times 270, and since 270 is 3 times as much as 90, you could just multiply your first answer by 3.

hope this helps!
