In a school 1/6th of the girls and 1/7th of the boys took part in a camp.what fraction of the total number of students took part in the camp?

no way to tell without some measure of the relative number of boys and girls.

If there were 6 girls and 7 boys, then 2/13

If there were 60 girls and 7 boys, then 11/67

try to post correct problems if you want correct answers.

Thanks for help and I post the exact question

To find out the fraction of the total number of students who took part in the camp, we need to calculate the combined fraction of girls and boys who participated.

Let's assume there are 'G' girls and 'B' boys in the school.

According to the given information, 1/6th of the girls and 1/7th of the boys took part in the camp. So, the fraction of girls who participated is 1/6 and the fraction of boys who participated is 1/7.

To calculate the combined fraction, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 7, which is 42. Then, we can convert the fractions to have a common denominator of 42.

The fraction of girls who participated can be written as (1/6) * (7/7) = 7/42.
The fraction of boys who participated can be written as (1/7) * (6/6) = 6/42.

Now, to find the total fraction of students who participated, we add the fractions of girls and boys who participated: (7/42) + (6/42) = 13/42.

Therefore, the fraction of the total number of students who took part in the camp is 13/42.
