To find the fraction of the cupcakes that are chocolate, you need to divide the number of chocolate cupcakes by the total number of cupcakes.
In this scenario, there are 15 cupcakes and 5 of them are chocolate.
So, to find the fraction of chocolate cupcakes, you would divide 5 (the number of chocolate cupcakes) by 15 (the total number of cupcakes):
Fraction of chocolate cupcakes = Number of chocolate cupcakes / Total number of cupcakes
Fraction of chocolate cupcakes = 5 / 15
Simplifying this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:
Fraction of chocolate cupcakes = (5 ÷ 5) / (15 ÷ 5)
Fraction of chocolate cupcakes = 1 / 3
Therefore, the fraction of cupcakes that are chocolate is 1/3.
