In a class of 24 boys and 26 girls. what is the fraction of boys?
24/26 = 12/13
Is the question asking about the number of boys related to the total number of students in the whole class?
24/50
How will you deal with that?
To find the fraction of boys in the class, you need to divide the number of boys by the total number of students in the class.
First, add the number of boys and girls to find the total number of students:
24 boys + 26 girls = 50 students
Next, divide the number of boys by the total number of students:
24 boys / 50 students = 12/25
Therefore, the fraction of boys in the class is 12/25.
