Yesterday 4/7 of the 210 students in a contest gave their speeches. How many students gave their speeches?

Question

It’s a math word problem

Answer 1

(4/7)(210) = 120 students.

This is the same as 4x210 and then divide that answer by 7.  Or you can divide 210 by 7 and multiply that answer by 4.  Either way, you get the answer of 120.
