Do I do division?

anonymous · Answer

Are they saying 17/18 of the 209 million or 17/18 is represented by 209 million?

anonymous · Answer

17/18 of the 209 million, which is the total admission.

anonymous · Answer

In this context "of" can be thought of as times.  If the 17/18 was = 209 million then a division would be necessary.
