What answer do you get?

Answered by Lauren
No no. I meant why did you multiply 2/3, 36/1, and 3/4?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Those are the numbers in your problem. We need to find out what 2/3 of 36 is to find the number of boys in the class. We need to find out what 3/4 of these boys is to find the ones under 6 feet.
