Solution:

  1. Start with 48
  2. Lost 6  (1/8 of 48 =s 6)
  3. Gave 8 to a friend   (1/6 of 48 is 8)
  4. 48 – 6 – 8
  5. = 48 – 14
  6. = 34

I do not understand this question its says mikhaails class voted for their favorite ride at space land of 24 students,18 voted for the roller coaster.what fraction shows how many voted for the roller Roaster?

Solution:

  • 18 out of 4 students voted for the roller coaster
  • 18/24 voted or roller coaster
  • ¾ voted or roller coaster (because 18=6×3 and 24=6×4, so (6×3)/(6×4)…and the =ixes cancel)
