In a class, 24 students have brown hair and 6 have blonde hair.
What fraction have brown hair?
30 students in all, so
24/30 = 4/5 have brown hair
Thanks @oobleck, really appreciated.
To find the fraction of students that have brown hair, we need to divide the number of students with brown hair by the total number of students.
In this case, we know that there are 24 students with brown hair. To find the total number of students, we need to add the number of students with brown hair (24) to the number of students with blonde hair (6).
So, the total number of students is 24 + 6 = 30.
Therefore, the fraction of students with brown hair is 24/30.
However, we can simplify this fraction further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6 in this case.
When we simplify 24/30, we get 4/5.
So, the fraction of students with brown hair is 4/5.
