Question

The yearbook club had a meeting. The meeting had 8 people, which is one-fourth of the club. How many people are in the club?

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

Since we know 8 = 1/4

We can convert the 1/4 into a percentage:

8 = 25%

To get to 100% which is the full club we have to multiply both sides by 4:

8×4 = 25% ×4

32 = 100%

So there are 32 people in the club.
