Question

There are 24 students in Ms. Brown's class, and 18 of them like to dance. What percent of the class likes to dance?

Answer 1

66.66%

Explanation:

The first model is the one you should use here as 24 and 18 are multiples of 3, this means that there is eight students in each group

That means that 18/24 is equal to 2/3 so the percentage of students that like to dance is 66.66%

Answer 2

75% of the class likes to dance therefore the second model (purple one) because .75 time 24 is 18
