In one hour, 17 cars drive through an intersection. Two fifths of the 17 cars fail to come to a complete stop at the stop sign. About how many cars do not come to a complete stop?

Respuesta :

Answer:

about 7

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a number (here, 17) and want to know some fraction (here, 2/5) of that number, you multiply the two.

Here, 17 * (2/5) = 6.8, so about 7.
