Question

Two groups of tourists each have 60 people. If 3/4 of the first group and 2/3 of the second group board buses to travel to a museum, how many more people in the first group board buses than in the second group?

Answer 1

We need to calculate 3/4 of Bus 1 and 2/3 of Bus 2. Then compare the two.

Bus 1:

60 * 3/4 = 45

Bus 2:

60 * 2/3 = 40

Thus,

45 - 40 = 5
