YOUR QUESTION: Mrs. smith's class planted 1200 pea plants. Due to a lack of water, 2/3 of the plants died. How many of these plants died?

It seems like an easy question, but it has me and my sister stumped for some reason?
I'm thinking it's 800, but I can't back this up. My sister was asking help with her homework.

1200/3 = 400 - a third of the total amount of plants is 400 plants
2*400 = 800 - two thirds of the total amount of plants is 800 plants

therefore if 2/3 of the plants died, 800 plants died ^^

Figuring out 2/3 of 1200 is pretty simple. It's just multiplication!

1200 * (2/3) = 800 (you are correct)
Expanded:
1200 * 2 = 2400
2400 / 3 = 800

A way to check that or a slightly longer way to solve this would be to figure out what 1/3 of 1200 is, then double that.
1200 / 3 = 400
400 * 2 = 800

hey, i've never really posted here so i hope i'm doing this right c: everything i'm posting here is from google searches, so sorry if it's inaccurate.

mercury + venus: no moons (the only planets that don't have a natural moon)
earth: 1 moon (the moon)
mars: 2 moons (phobos, deimos)
jupiter: 67 (a few of them are europe, ganymede, callisto)
saturn: precise number unknown, but i found lots of sites saying 53 (examples are titan, rhea, enceladus)
uranus: 27 moons (examples are miranda, titania, umbriel)
neptune: 13 or 14 (triton, nereid, larissa)

i hope i was of help, again i don't know if i'm doing this right, and i'm sorry if this information wasn't what you were looking for.

YOUR QUESTION:how do you find the perimeter of a triangle ._.

A perimeter is always just the measurement of the outside lines of the shape. P_triangle = a + b + c where a, b, c = the lengths of the three sides of a triangle

YOUR QUESTION:how do you find the perimeter of a triangle ._.

Well, you just add all the sides to find the perimeter. It's just the outside of the triangle, not the inside. a + b + c
If you're looking for a missing side, however, then you can use the Pythagorean theorem if you've learned how:
a² + b² = c²

Remember that the Pythagorean Theorem is only for RIGHT triangles. If it is only perimeter, you won't need this anyway, but remember it for the future. You'll be learning about it eventually. c:
