There are 64 students in a speech contest. Yesterday, 1/4 of them gave their speeches. Today, 5/8 of the remaining students gave their speeches. How many students still haven't given their speeches?

Answer 1

Do you know how to start this?

Answer 2

No because the site that my school has me doing this on is no help. It makes me more confused with its explanations.

Answer 3

Okay, well. You wanna start by Multiplying 1/4 by 64. Can you do that?

Answer 4

16?

Answer 5

Correct. Then multiply .625 by 64.

Answer 6

The .625 comes from the 5/8.

Answer 7

.625 x 64 = 40?

Answer 8

Correct. So then add 40 and 16 get 56. Then 64 minus 56 and there's the number of students that haven't gone

Answer 9

8?
