Question

There are 18 students in the Math Club. Of the 18 students, 1/6 have red hair. How many of the students have red hair? Of the 18 students, 4/6 have brown hair. How many of the students have brown hair?

Answer 1

Red=3

Brown=12

Explanation:

So to find 1/6 of 18 you divide 18 by 6 which is 3.

red = 3

Then to find 4/6 well you've already found out 1/6 is 3 so all you need to do is times that by 4.

3x4=12

Brown = 12

Answer 2

3 students with red hair

12 students with brown hair

Explanation:

1/6 times 18 = 18/6 = 3 students with red hair

4/6 times 18 = (18 times 4)/6= 12 students with brown hair
