Question

Kevin is a quarterback on the football team.he completed 36 passes during the season.his second-string replacement,Mark completed 2/9 as many passes as Kevin.. How many passes did mark complete?

Answer 1

36 × $\frac{2}{9}$

Since 9 is a factor of 36 you can reduce the 36 to 4 and the 9 to one 

Then just multiply what is left

4 × 2 = 8

So, Mark completed 8 passes.
