Mrs. Smedema likes cookies. Each student in her 8th grade math class presented her with a cookie. One-third of the students each gave her an oatmeal cookie, one-sixth of the students each gave her a cinnamon cookie, one-fourth of the students each gave her a chocolate chip cookie, and the remaining 9 students each gave her a peanut butter cookie. How many students are in Mrs Smedema’s 8th grade math class?

Sagot :

Late answer, but whatever.

Answer:

36. There are 36 students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/12 oatmeal

2/12 cinnamon

3/12 chocolate

9 peanut

The fractions added together = 9/12

This means the 9 students = 3/12 of the class

3 x 4 = 12

9 x 4 = 36
