Question

There are 24 students in a class 8 of the students are boys

b) Write the amount of girls in the class as a fraction in it's simplest form

Answer 1

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

If 8 students are boys, then the remaining students must be girls. We can find the number of girls in the class by subtracting the number of boys from the total number of students in the class:

Total number of students - Number of boys = Number of girls 24 - 8 = 16

So there are 16 girls in the class. To write this as a fraction, we can express the number of girls as a fraction of the total number of students:

Girls' number / Overall, the amount of students equals 16/24.

The largest common factor, which is 8, can be used to split the numerator and denominator of this fraction to make it simpler:

16 / 24 = (16 ÷ 8) / (24 ÷ 8) = 2 / 3

As a result, the fractional representation of the total girls in the class is 2/3.

Hope it helps!
