Question

3.

June has 248 oranges. She sells of these oranges. How many oranges did June sell?
Answer.​

Answer 1

93 oranges

Explanation:

3/8 of 248

`(y)/(248) :((3)/(8) )/(1)`

y × 1 = 248 × 3/8

y = 93

Answer 2

93. Divide 248 by 8. One eighth of 248 = 31.

June sold 3/8 of the 248 oranges.

If 1/8 = 31 and June sold 3/8 of the oranges.

Multiply 3 × 31. Therefore June sold 93 oranges.
