Question

Two-thirds of Tim’s class has cupcakes.One half of the cupcakes have chocolate frosting.what fraction of students have cupcakes with chocolate frosting?

Answer 1

The fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting is $\frac{1}{3} x$

Explanation:

Given:

Let the number of students in class be x

According to the question:

Students having cupcake = $\frac{2}{3} x$

Frosting cupcakes = $\frac{1}{2} X \frac{2}{3}x$

Fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting = $\frac{1}{2} X \frac{2}{3}x$

                                                                                                = $\frac{1}{3}x$

Thus, the fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting is $\frac{1}{3} x$
