Question

LAst year, 3/8 of Ms. Oliver's students were boys. This year, she has the same number of students, and 9/24 of them are boys. Draw a picture to show that Ms. Oliver has had the same fraction of boys each year

Answer 1

On this website, we sadly can't draw pictures. They did have the Same amount. If you simplify 9/24 by 3/3 like this 9/24 (3/3) 3/8 then you get 3/8. It's basically just that you divide by 3/3 to make an equivilancy. In a picture form just try to draw a model of 8 squares shading in 3 of them. Split the picture horizontially 3 times to get 9/24. If this is incorrect please tell me.

Answer 2

It just Multiply by 3
