Question

While going on a field trip, a busload of 54 students will have to be split up into three groups. Two-thirds will go to lunch first, and one-third will go visit the exhibits. How many will go to lunch first? Write an equation to represent the problem

Answer 1

Answer: 36 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students on the bus = 54

Students who will go to lunch first are = $\frac{2}{3}$ of 54

$\frac{2}{3} * 54 = 36$

Hence, 36 students will go first for lunch.
