Hi guys!

Im having trouble on the working out for this question could you please explain how to work it out?

Two-thirds of the jelly beans in a jar are black. There are 96 jelly beans in the jar. How many of them are black?

Thanks! Have an awesome day!

64

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing I would do is break down the question and put it into number form. 2/3 of the jelly beans are black. You want to find out the number of jelly beans out of 96 are black. I can try my best to explain how to do this.

Divide the number of jelly beans (96) by the denominator (3) to find out how many jelly beans would be 1/3. This is 32. To find out how many are 2/3 you would multiply the 1/3 (32) by 2 to find that it is 64.

To check your work simplify this. 64/96 and it should equal 1/3. Or put it in your calculator to find that it equals .667 which is the decimal form of 2/3.
