90 students audition for The school play 1/3 of those students who auditioned were cast six in major roles what fraction of those who were cast got major roles write your answer as a decimal
To find the fraction of students who were cast in major roles, we need to find the ratio of the number of students who were cast in major roles to the total number of students who auditioned.
The total number of students who auditioned is given as 90.
The number of students who were cast in major roles is given as 6.
So, the fraction of students who were cast in major roles is 6/90.
To write this fraction as a decimal, we divide the numerator (6) by the denominator (90).
6 ÷ 90 = 0.06667 (rounded to five decimal places).
Therefore, the fraction of students who were cast in major roles is 0.06667 as a decimal.
To find the fraction of students who were cast in major roles out of those who auditioned, we need to calculate the fraction.
Given:
Total students who auditioned = 90
Students cast in major roles = 6
Fraction = Students cast in major roles / Total students who auditioned
Fraction = 6 / 90
Now we can simplify this fraction:
Fraction = 1 / 15
As a decimal, this would be 0.067.
