Aplane seats 480. if 3/4 of the seats were full, how many people were on the plane? (multiplying rational numbers)

Your equation is just to multiply 480 by 3/4.

Easy way to do these quick.

480 (3/4) is the same as (480 * 3) / 4

480 / 4 = 120

By simplifying, you are left with just 120 * 3 in the numerator

120 * 3 = 360

There are 360 people on the plane.

If you need to check your

360 / 480

Take away the zeros at the end by dividing both by 10

36 / 48

Divide both by 6

6 / 8

Now divide by 2

3 / 4

1. 22

2. 1
