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?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

17 * (2/5)

= (17*2)/5

= 34/5

= 6.8

You can then round this number up --> about 7 cars.

The answer would be 7 cars
