My question is: Annie does a survey of the sixth-grade classes to see who prefers pretzels to goldfish. In Miss Johnson's class, 1/6 of the students preferred goldfish. In Mr. Feldstein's class, 2/3rds of the students preferred goldfish. In Ms. Henderson's class, 1/5 of the students prefer goldfish. If each class has 30 students, how many people total prefer goldfish? Your thoughts:

First find the number of students in Mr. Feldstein's class who prefer goldfish: 2 / 3 * 30 students = 20 students. Then find the number of students in Mr. Feldstein's class who prefer goldfish: 1 / 6 * 30 students = 5 students. Then find the number of students in Ms. Henderson's class who prefer goldfish: 1 / 5 * 30 students = 6 students. Then add the number of students from each class who prefer goldfish to find the total: 20 students + 5 students + 6 students = 31 students. The final answer: 31.
