To find the fraction of boys in the class, we need to divide the number of boys by the total number of students in the class.
Number of boys = 8
Total number of students = 24
Fraction of boys = Number of boys / Total number of students
Fraction of boys = 8 / 24
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Fraction of boys = 1/3
To find the fraction of boys in the class, you need to divide the number of boys by the total number of students in the class. In this case, there are 8 boys and 24 students in the class.
The fraction of boys in the class is found by dividing 8 (the number of boys) by 24 (the total number of students):
Fraction of boys = 8 / 24
Simplifying this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (which is 8 in this case):
Fraction of boys = 1 / 3
So, the fraction of boys in the class is 1/3.
