144 students enter a spell bee, but only 1/6 of the group will make into the semi-final round, and only 2/3?that group will make into the final round. How many students will enter the final round of the spelling bee? A8
B16
C24
D36

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want 1/6 of 144, so we divide 144/6=24 students.

Then, only 2/3 of those 24 students will make it to the final round. So, we want to know how many students are in three (2/3) groups and we want two (2/3) of those groups. So, we divide those 24 students by 3 to know each group has 8 students and then we want 2 of those groups (remember 2/3), so we multiply 2x8=16 students in the final round.

because 1.2 isnt half of 6 duh
