In Ted's class, students were asked to name their favorite sport. Football was the response of 1/8 of them. If 3 students said football, how many students are in Ted's class?

Respuesta :

24 Students

If 1/8 of the total is 3, then the total is 3 multiplied by 8 = 24

        Another way:

1/8= 12.5%

 12..5%_____3

     100%_____x

Cross multiplication

12.5x =3x100(300)

X=24

   12.5% of 24 = 3
