In each of two different fourth-grade classes, 1/3 of the members are girls, Does each class have the same number of girls.
We can't tell because we don't know the sizes of the classes.
in each of two different fourth-grade classes, 1/3 of the members are girls. does each class have the same number of girls
To determine if each class has the same number of girls, we need some information about the total number of students in each class. Could you please provide the total number of students in each fourth-grade class?
To determine whether each class has the same number of girls, we need to compare the fractions of girls in each class.
1/3 of the members in the first fourth-grade class are girls. Let's say that class has a total of 'x' students. So, the number of girls in the first class would be (1/3) * x.
Similarly, 1/3 of the members in the second fourth-grade class are also girls. Let's call the total number of students in the second class 'y'. Therefore, the number of girls in the second class would be (1/3) * y.
To find out if the two classes have the same number of girls, we need to compare the expressions (1/3) * x and (1/3) * y.
If we have the values of 'x' and 'y', we can calculate the number of girls for each class and compare them.
