sing in the school choir. What fraction of students at Lamar High School are girls in choir?
Responses
To find the fraction of students at Lamar High School who are girls in the choir, we need to multiply the fractions representing the proportion of girls at the school (2/3) and the proportion of girls in the choir (2/3).
