Question

A packet has 80 sheets of paper. Simran uses 3/4 of the sheets. How many sheets has she used?

Answer 1

Simply: 3/4 of the 80 sheets of paper turns into

            3/4   x       80  (sheets of paper) = x (paper used)

3/4 x 80 = x

3 x 80 / 4 = x

3 x 20 = x

60 = x

x = 60

Answer 2

80 divided by 4 = 20

20 times 3 = 60
