Let t represent the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class.
From the information given, we know that two-thirds of the class, or 8 students, own a pet.
So, we can write the equation as:
(2/3)t = 8
This equation represents that two-thirds of the total number of students is equal to 8.

To find the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class, we can use the information that two-thirds of the class, or 8 students, own a pet.
Let's assume that the total number of students in the class is represented by the variable 't'.
We know that two-thirds of the class owns a pet, which means that (2/3) of the total number of students, or (2/3) * t students, own a pet.
According to the given information, (2/3) * t = 8 students.
To complete the equation, we can rewrite this equation as:
(2/3) * t = 8
So, the equation that models the total number of students, t, in Ms. Garcia's class is (2/3) * t = 8.
