Answer:

4/15

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the fraction of children that are infants in a daycare knowing that:

4 are infants
11 are toddlers

The fraction will be calculated as:

number of infants / total number of children

So first we need to calculate the total number of children:

total number of children = 4 + 11 = 15 children

So now we can calculate the fraction:

4 infants / 15 children

a fraction of 4/15 children are infants in the daycare.

Noha rides his bike 4 miles and andrew rides his bike 2 miles how long dose it take for them to meet up( there 15 miles away

jok3333 [9.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering speed of Noha = 4miles per hour

and speed of andrew = 2 miles/hour

The distance between Noha and andrew = 15 miles

Case 1: when they are travelling towards each other( opposite direction)

Then their relative speed becomes = 4+2 = 6miles/hour

Time taken to meet = Distance/relative speed = 15/6 = 2.5 hours

Case2: When they are travelling same direction

Then their relative speed becomes = 4-2 = 2 miles/hour

Time taken to meet = Distance/ relative speed = 15/2 = 7.5 hours
