Question

Ms. Johnson has 20 students. 3/5 of her class has at least one pet. How many students in her class have pets?

Answer 1

12 students

Explanation:

First make 3/5 into a percent or whole number because it's easier to solve that way. How do you do that? Divide it how it is, so 3/5 = 0.60. So 60% of her class has at least one pet.

Knowing this, we multiply 60% by 20 to know how many students are that 60% that have pets. So 0.6 x 20= 12

12 students have pets in Ms. Johnson's class

Answer 2

`12`

Explanation:

`(3)/(5) * 20`

`(60)/(5)`

`=12`
