Question

William wants 2 out of every 3 stores in the mall to be clothing stores. If there are 150 stores in the mall, how many stores will be clothing stores?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 100 \ stores}$

Explanation:

Total stores = 150

Clothing stores = 2/3 of the total stores

"of" means "to multiply"

Clothing stores:

$\displaystyle =\frac{2}{3} \times 150\\\\= 2 \times 50 \\\\= 100 \ stores\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$
