Question

In a classroom, there are 5 girls and 7 boys. What is the chancethat the teacher will choose a girl to answer a question?

Answer 1

5/12!

Explanation:

So, imagine the denominator as the whole classroom, i.e. rephrase __ out of 12 to __/12. To get the total class, just add up both groups, which gets you 12! now, 5 out of the 12 kids are girls, so, put 5 in the last sections blank! i hope this helped!!!
