Ms. Garcia surveyed the students in her class to find out if they own a pet. Two-thirds of the class, or 8 students, own a pet. Complete the equation that models the total number of students, t , in Ms. Garcia’s class.

The equation that models the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class is:
2/3*t = 8
a/8=3.50 what is a
To find the value of "a," we can solve the equation for "a" by multiplying both sides of the equation by 8.

(a/8) * 8 = 3.50 * 8

On the left side, the 8s cancel out, leaving us with:

a = 3.50 * 8

Evaluating the right side of the equation, we have:

a = 28

Therefore, "a" is equal to 28.
