There are 36 people riding in the first train car. the second train car has 3/4 the number of people that are in the first car.

how many people are riding in the second train car?
express your answer in simplest form

Alright, because we know that there are 36 people in the first car, and the second car has 3/4 of the amount of people in the first car, we can set up an equation, 36*3/4=x

To solve for x, what we can do is multiply 36 by 3, getting 108, then what you need to do is divide 108 by 4 to get 27, so there should be 27 people in the second car.
