Question

Need to see equation in common core please.
48 students are girls they make up 60% of students how many students total?

Answer 1

I used the part to whole way.

60%is equal to 60 over 100, or 6 over 10.

6 is the part. 10 is the whole.

In the same way, 48 is the part, but you need to find the whole.

6 times 8 is 48.

Now, you can multiply 10 times 8 to find the whole.

10 time 8 is 80.

80 is the answer.
