Question

In our school, 3/5 of the student body have brown eyes. If there are 350

students in the in the school, how many have brown eyes?

Answer 1

210 students have brown eyes

Explanation:

There are 350 students in total. We know that only 3/5 of them have brown eyes. The question asks for how many students have brown eyes.

Since we know that 3/5 can be represented as a percentage (60%), we can multiply the total number by 60%. Our equation is basically saying, give us 60% of 350.

`350 * .6 = 210`

There are 210 students with brown eyes.
