An adult usually has 32 teeth. People sometimes lose some of their teeth. Pat has only 5/8 of her teeth left. How many teeth has she lost?

twenty teeth

Step-by-step explanation:

32:8=4

4•5=20

Pat has lost 12 teeth.

I got a calculator and divided 32 by 8, then timed that answer (4) by 3.

32 ÷ 8 = 4

4 x 3 = 12

If the question had asked how many teeth Pat has, the answer would be 20, but that isn't correct for this question. It asks how many teeth she has lost, and that would be 12.

hope this helps

i would say true? if the unit was informational and it "refreshed your understanding", then true.
