: Here's a word problem that I don't understand how to set up an equation for.
There is only one freshman in the cast of the high school musical. There are 6 sophomores and 11 juniors. One third of the cast are seniors. How many seniors are in the musical?
I don't understand what equation you would use to solve that. It's very confusing to me. Could you please help me out? This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1+6+11=18
let x=entire cast
18=(2/3)x
divide 2/3 into both sides. x=3/2*18=27
27-18=9 seniors in the musical.
Check:
9/27=1/3
