Answer:

2/3 is the fraction of students who are boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, a fraction consists of two parts: The denominator and the numerator. The denominator is the whole, while the number is a part of the whole (and sometimes above).

1. Since in your question, there are 24 students in total in the class, the denominator will be 24.

2. You said that 16 of them are boys, so 16 is the numerator.

3. In a fraction, it will be 16/24.

4. 16/24 can be simplified into 2/3 since both 16 and 24 can be divided by 8.

So our final answer is 2/3.

Madison measured her paper. It was 2/3 feet wide and 1/4 foot long. What is the area of her paper
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

1/6 squared feet or 0.17 squared feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a paper, we assume it is a rectangle.

Use the formula for area of a rectangle. A= lw

l is the length and w is the width.

The width is 2/3 feet and the length is 1/4 feet.

Substitute w = 2/3 and l=1/4 into the equation for area of a rectangle.

A = lw

A = (1/4)(2/3)   Multiply both numerators, then both denominators

A = 2/12    Simplify. Top and bottom are divisible by 2

A = 1/6

A ≈ 0.17 Rounded to two decimal places

When you multiply two numbers with units, the answer's unit becomes the squared unit.

Therefore the area of her paper is 1/6 squared feet, or 0.17 squared feet.
