Question

Answer this question please

Answer 1

1/5

Explanation:

We have 40 classes total. 8 of the 40 classes are Year 7 classes.

So we can say that
`(8)/(40)` classes are Year 7 classes.

The problem statement asks for the answer in simplest form, so we reduce our fraction by a factor of 8.

`(8)/(40) = (1)/(5)`

So 1/5 (one fifth) of the classes are the secondary school are Year 7 classes.

Answer 2

1/5

Explanation:

40 / 8 = 5 therefore, it equals 1/5, because 1/5 of the classes are year 7.
