Answer:

2.  5/9 of the students of the grade 4 are boys.

3. 7/15 of the grade 4 students are in Ms. Ashley's class

4. 3/4 of the students in Mr. Ben's class do not have siblings in the same school.

5. There are 14 students with glasses and 7 without glasses.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us for solving the questions:

Number of students in the school = 482

Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 class = 21 students

Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 class boys = 15 students

Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 class girls = 6 students

Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 class with glasses = 2/3 * 21 = 42/3 = 14 students

Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class = 24 students

Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class boys = 10 students

Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class girls = 14 students

Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class with siblings in the school = 1/4 * 24 = 24/4 = 6 students

2. Let's answer all the questions:

1. What fraction of the students in the school are in grade 4?

(Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 class + Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class)/ Number of students in the school

21 + 24 / 482 = 45/482

2. What fraction of the grade 4 students are boys?

(Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 boys + Mr. Ben's Grade 4 boys)/ (Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 class + Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class)

15 + 10 / 21 + 24

25 / 45 = 5/9

3. What fraction of the grade 4 students are in Ms. Ashley's class?

Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 class / (Ms. Ashley's Grade 4 class + Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class)

21 / 21 + 24

21 / 45 = 7/15

4. What fraction of the students in Mr. Ben's class that do not have siblings in the same school?

(Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class - Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class with siblings in the school)/ Mr. Ben's Grade 4 class

24 - 6 / 24

18 / 24 = 3/4

5. In Ms. Ashley's class, are there more students that wear glasses or do not wear glasses?

There are 14 students with glasses and 7 without glasses.
