Answer:

The number of runners is
of Total number of the member in team .

Explanation:

Given as :

The Total number of the member in team = x

The number of boys in team =
(3)/(5) of x

I.e number of boys in team =
(3 x)/(5)

Again

The number of sixth-grade boys =
(4)/(7) of total boys in team

I.e The number of sixth-grade boys =
(4)/(7) ×
(3 x)/(5)

Or, The number of sixth-grade boys =
(12 x)/(35)

Again

The number of runners =
(1)/(3) of number of sixth-grade boys

i.e The number of runners =
(1)/(3) ×
(12 x)/(35)

Or, The number of runners =
(4 x)/(35)

So, The number of runners =
(4 )/(35) of Total number of the member in team

Hence,The number of runners is
of Total number of the member in team . Answer
