there are 24 students in ms.woodalls class .1/2 of students are boys. 1/3 of the boys have brown hair.what is the number of boys in Ms.woodalls class who have brown hair?

Respuesta :

First, let's find how many students are boys.  We do this by multiplying 24 by 1/2.

24*1/2=12.  Now, we find how many of the boys have brown hair.  We do this by multiplying the number of boys, 12, by 1/3.

12*1/3 = 4.  So, 4 boys have brown hair in Ms. Woodall's class.
