Yesterday, 5/7 of the 49 students in a contest gave their speeches. How many students gave their speeches? Write your answer in simplest form.

Respuesta :

5/7 multiplied by 49= 35 students gave speeches.
To solve this, multiply 5/7 by 49, since 5/7 of the total 49 did give their speech.
5/7 • 49 = 35
This means that 35 students gave their speeches yesterday.
Hope this helps!
