Ms. Garcia surveyed the students in her class to find out if they own a pet. Two thirds of the class or 8 students, own a pet. Complete the equation that models the total number of students,t, in Ms. Garcia's class.
Let's assume the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class is t.
We know that two-thirds of the class or 8 students own a pet.
This can be represented by the equation:
(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.
