Question

the yearbook club had a meeting. the meeting had 24 people, which is three - fourths of the club. how many people are in the club?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

We know that 24 people are three - fourths of the total number of people in the club. Let the total number of people in the club be \(x\). So we can set up the equation \(\frac{3}{4}x = 24\).

Step2: Solve for \(x\)

To solve for \(x\), we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of \(\frac{3}{4}\), which is \(\frac{4}{3}\). So \(x=24\times\frac{4}{3}\).
First, calculate \(24\div3 = 8\), then \(8\times4=32\).

Answer:

The number of people in the club is 32.
