Let's let "x" be the total number of students in Mrs. Garcia's class.
We know that 2/3 or 2/3x of the class represents the eight students who own a pet.
Therefore, we can write the equation: 2/3x = 8
To solve for "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
To do this, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2.
(3/2)(2/3x) = (3/2)(8)
This simplifies to:
x = 12
So, there are 12 students in Mrs. Garcia's class.
