(66 2/3)% = 2/3.

X = 12 crew members.

Answer 3

Great job

Answer 4

First find 2/3 of 66 in decimals, and add that to 66. This makes 66.67
Now multiply that by 8 because thats how many men there is. Now you have 533.386 now finally divide by 100 then round to the nearest whole number which is 5 women. Add 5 women to 8 men and you have 12 crew members!!
