Question

a group of students attend math club. Half of the students are boys and 4/9 of the boys have brown eyes. What fraction of the group are boys with brown eyes?

Answer 1

In pretty sure the answer would be 4/18. I think it would be this because If half the students are boys and 4/9 of the boys have brown eyes, this means that the whole club is 18. You add the two denominators. This equals the whole. Since it is asking for boys with brown eyes out of the whole group you put the number of brown eyed boys over the total number of kids.
