If 18 students occupy `3/5`of the seats in the classroom, how many students would occupy `2/3` of the seats in the room?

1 answer

If 18 students occupy `3/5` of the seats in the classroom, then each student occupies `3/5 ÷ 18` or `1/30` of the seats.

To find out how many students would occupy `2/3` of the seats in the room, you need to divide `2/3` by `1/30`.

`(2/3) ÷ (1/30) = 2/3 * 30/1 = 60/3 = 20`

Therefore, 20 students would occupy `2/3` of the seats in the classroom.
