Answer 1

To find the total number of students \( t \) in Ms. Garcia's class based on the information provided, we can use the equation:

\[ \frac{2}{3}t = 8 \]

To solve for \( t \), we can multiply both sides of the equation by \( \frac{3}{2} \):

\[ t = 8 \cdot \frac{3}{2} \]

Calculating this, we get:

\[ t = 8 \cdot 1.5 = 12 \]

So, the total number of students \( t \) in Ms. Garcia’s class is:

\[ t = 12 \]
