Question

Four-tenths of the 20 children in the park are playing soccer. How many children are playing soccer in the park?

Answer 1

Four-tenths = 4/10

So, 4/10 of the 20 children in the park are playing soccer.

We can find out how many are playing by taking 20 x 4/10 (the portion)

20 x 4/10 = 8, so there are 8 children playing soccer in the park.
