Question

There are $42$ people at a museum.

Two-thirds of them are children.

How many children are at the museum?

Answer 1

Find the number of children that are there in the museum:

Given,

Total number of people at the museum is $42$

Out of $42$ people, $\frac{2}{3}$ of are children.

Calculating the number of children at the museum:

Now, $\frac{2}{3}$ of $42$ can be expressed as

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}\text{of}42 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}\times 42 \\ \Rightarrow 2\times 14 \\ \Rightarrow 28 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the total number of children at the museum are $28$
