Question

2/15 of a class of 30 students are wearing red t-shirts today. How many students is that?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 students

To find out how many students are wearing red t-shirts, we need to calculate the fraction of the class that is wearing red t-shirts. The fraction is given as 2/15, meaning 2 out of every 15 students are wearing red t-shirts.

We then need to multiply the fraction 2/15 by the total number of students in the class, which is 30.

2/15 of 30 can be calculated as:

(2/15) x 30 = (2 x 30) / 15 = 60/15 = 4 students

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 4\ students}`

Explanation:

Total students = 30

Students wearing red t-shirts:

= 2/15 of total

Key: "of" means "to multiply"

= 2/15 × 30

= 2 × 2

= 4 students

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
