there are 12 students at the lunch table two thirds of the students ordered a hamburger for lunch one half of those students that ordered a hamburger ut cheese on it. and what fraction of the student at luch table order a cheeseburger
12 Students
2/3 of 12
12 divided by 3 = 4
4*3=12
2/3 of 12= 8
half of 8 equals 4
can you finish that math?

I am trying to help her learn, not do it all for her.
To find the fraction of students at the lunch table who ordered a cheeseburger, we need to determine how many students ordered a hamburger and then calculate half of that number.
Given that two-thirds of the students ordered a hamburger, we can find how many students that represents by multiplying 12 (the total number of students) by 2/3:
(2/3) * 12 = 24/3 = 8 students ordered a hamburger.
Next, we need to calculate half of the students who ordered a hamburger. Half of 8 is:
8 * (1/2) = 8/2 = 4 students.
Therefore, 4 out of the 12 students at the lunch table ordered a cheeseburger, which can be represented as the fraction 4/12.
