Question

One day during flu season, 1/3 of the students in a class were out sick, and only 24 students were left. How many students are in the class.?

Answer 1

one third were out, two thirds remained
so the question is, two thirds of what number is 24
translate in to math, we get
\[\frac{2}{3}x=24\] solve for \(x\) via \[x=24\times \frac{3}{2}\]

Answer 2
