two out of 3 pupils wear rubber shoes for intramurals. if there are 60 pupils. what percent wears rubber shoes?

Question

i just want to ask to make sure of my answer

Answer 1

To solve this, we need to find 2/3 of the total number of pupils, which is 60

 

This is a multiplication problem using fractions

 

2/3 * 60 = 2/3 * 60/1 = (2 * 60)/(3 * 1) = 120/3 = 40 pupils wear rubber shoes
