Question

This year ⅗ of the students in Fionna’s class identify as girls. Fionna notices that ⅔ of these girls wear braces. Only ½ of the boys wear braces. What fraction of all the students in the class wear braces?

Answer 1

Answer:

³/5

~if ⅔ of the girls wear braces

= 2units of girs wear braces

Boys = 2 units
