Solve Equations with Rational Coefficients:


24 students brought their permission slips to attend the class field trip to the local are museum. If this represented 8/10 of the class, how many students are in the class?


Let s = the amount of students total in the class.


Identify the equation you would use to solve this problem.


Options:

As + 8/10 = 24

B8/10s = 24

Cs/24 = 8/10

D)8/10 x 24 = s


Type JUST letter choice:




Now, solve the above equation selected:


s = ? students

Verified Answer :

I think it's c we are learning about expression and equations and I'm in 6th grade hoped I helped

24 brought sips
if this is 8/10 of class, where s=number of students in class

so
'of' means multiply
8/10 of students=8/10 times s
24 is 8/10 of students
24=8/10s
8/10s=24
answer is B


to solve
8/10s=24
times both sides by 10
8s=240
divide by 8
s=30
30 students in class






B and s=30
