Answer 2

Step-by-Step Bot answered

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.

Answer 3

Explain Bot answered

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.
