This problem can be solved by setting up a proportion.
Let x be the total number of students in the classroom and let y be the total number of seats.
According to the information provided in the question, we can set up the following equation:
18/x = 3/5
Solving for x, we get:
x = 18 / (3/5)
x = 18 * (5/3)
x = 30
So, the total number of students in the classroom is 30.
Now, we want to find out how many students would occupy 2/3 of the seats in the room.
Let z be the number of students that would occupy 2/3 of the seats.
Setting up the proportion:
z / 30 = 2/3
Solving for z, we get:
z = 30 * (2/3)
z = 20
Therefore, 20 students would occupy 2/3 of the seats in the classroom.
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
