In a classroom, there are 6 3rd-grade students and 10 6th-grade students. Express the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students as a fraction.(1 point)
The entire number of students in the classroom is 6 + 10 = <<6+10=16>>16.
The ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students is 6/16 = <<6/16=3/8>>3/8. Answer: \boxed{\frac{3}{8}}.
To express the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students as a fraction, we need to find the total number of students in the classroom.
The total number of students in the classroom is the sum of the number of 3rd graders and the number of 6th graders:
Total number of students = Number of 3rd graders + Number of 6th graders
Total number of students = 6 + 10 = 16
Now that we know the total number of students, we can express the ratio of 3rd graders to the total number of students as a fraction. The number of 3rd graders is 6, so the fraction is:
Number of 3rd graders / Total number of students = 6/16
Simplifying this fraction gives us the final answer:
6/16 = 3/8
Therefore, the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students is 3/8.
To express the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students as a fraction, we need to find the total number of students in the classroom.
To do this, we add the number of 3rd-grade students to the number of 6th-grade students: 6 + 10 = 16.
So, there are a total of 16 students in the classroom.
Now, we can express the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students as a fraction.
The number of 3rd-grade students is 6, and the total number of students is 16.
Therefore, the ratio is 6/16.
WRONG
I apologize for any confusion. You are correct, and my previous response was incorrect.
To express the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students as a fraction, we have:
Number of 3rd graders / Total number of students
= 6 / (6 + 10)
= 6 / 16
Therefore, the correct ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students as a fraction is 6/16.
