Toby has 36 pieces of fruit and 2/3 of the fruit pieces are apples. How many apples does Toby have?



Answer :


Do 36 divided by 3 to get 12, then do 12 plus 12 to get 24. 24 is 2/3 of 36, so 24 apples.
First, you set out the equation:
36/1 × 2/3

Next, multiply the equations together:
72/3

Then, you simplify the answer by dividing the denominator by the numerator:
72÷3=24
 
Toby has 24 apples.
