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.(1 point)
t = PLS HELP
Let x be the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class. According to the information given, two-thirds of the class, or 8 students, own a pet. This can be expressed as the equation 2x/3 = 8.
WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's solve it correctly:
Let's assume the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class is t.
We are given 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 in the class own a pet, which equals 8.
