Question

One evening, 2/3 of Mrs. Thorne’s students watched a reality television show. Of Mrs. Lombardo’s students, 4/5 watched the same reality show: Which teacher has more students watch the reality show?

Answer 1

They both had the same amount of students watch the reality show.

Explanation:

To find the number of students who watched the reality show in each teacher's class, just multiply the fraction by the total number of students per teacher.

For Mrs. Thorne's:

36 * (2/3) = 24 students

For Mrs. Lombardo's:

30 * (4/5) = 24 students

24 = 24 so they had an equal amount of students from each class watch the reality show.
