Question

at one scholl at prep level there were 5 set of twins,two sets of triplets and one set of quadruplets starting school this year. what fraction of those students was just one of those children

Answer 1

Answer:  Fraction of twins = $\frac{5}{8}$ Fractions of triplets = $\frac{1}{4}$ Fractions of quadruplets = $\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of set of twins = 5

Number of sets of triplets = 2

Number of sets of quadruplets = 1

Total number of sets is given by

$5+2+1=8$

Now, we need to find the fraction of those students.

So, Fraction of twins is given by

$\frac{5}{8}$

Fractions of triplets is given by

$\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

Fractions of quadruplets is given by

$\frac{1}{8}$
