A class is going on a field trip, and 3/5 of students want to go to Chicago. Of those who want to go to Chicago 2/3 want to go to the Navy Pier. What fraction of the class wants to go to the Navy Pier... I thought multiplying is correct not sure, I came up with 2/5. Is this right. if not please help
Thanks Ryan
 


Yes, to find 2/3rds of a number, we multiply the number by 2/3.

2/5ths of the class is correct.
