There are 42 students in a freshman math class during the first hour of a day. the students in math represent 1/16 of all of the freshman. write an equation and solve to find the number of students in the freshman class.

If 42 represents 1/16 of the entire class then basically just multiply 42 by 16 to get your answer.

Meaning that there are 672 students within the freshman class.

Unfortunately I'm unsure how to write it out as an equation... though... as I mentioned that is the answer.

In regards, I do hope this helps in someway. Have a great rest of your day!

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
