Question

of the total track and field team members 4/5 do the long jump if there are 40 members on the track team how many members do the long jump

Answer 1

To find out how many members of the track and field team do the long jump, you can multiply the total number of team members by the fraction of members who do the long jump.

Given:
- Total team members = 40
- Fraction that do the long jump = \( \frac{4}{5} \)

Now, calculate the number of members who do the long jump:

\[
\text{Number of long jumpers} = \text{Total members} \times \frac{4}{5}
\]
\[
\text{Number of long jumpers} = 40 \times \frac{4}{5} = 40 \times 0.8 = 32
\]

So, 32 members of the track and field team do the long jump.
