1, In one school, 5/6 of the 6th graders take a foreign language. of these students, 2/5 take French.
a. What fraction of the 6th graders take French? 5/6 x 2/6= 1/3
b. If there are 150 6th graders,how many take French? 150/1 x 1/3 =5/3 ?
The answer for part (a) is 1/3. And th answer for part (b) is 50. I hope this answer helps. Please like this comment! Thx!
a is right.
How can 5/3 be the number of students?
1/3 * 150 = 50 take French.
This really helped thanks
a. To find the fraction of 6th graders that take French, we need to multiply the fraction of 6th graders that take a foreign language (5/6) by the fraction of those students that take French (2/5).
So, 5/6 * 2/5 = (5 * 2) / (6 * 5) = 10/30 = 1/3.
Therefore, 1/3 of the 6th graders take French.
b. To find the number of 6th graders that take French, we need to multiply the total number of 6th graders (150) by the fraction of 6th graders that take French (1/3).
So, 150 * 1/3 = 150/1 * 1/3 = 150/3 = 50.
Therefore, 50 6th graders take French.
