Answer 1

The fraction of medium sized shirt is $\frac{1}{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$\frac{1}{3}$ of the shirts are small sized.

$\frac{1}{3}$ of the shirts are large sized.

To find the fraction of medium sized.

Let us take total number of shirt = 1

Number of small sized shirt =c

Number of large sized shirt = $\frac{1}{3}$

So,

Total number of large and small sized shirt = $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{3}$

=  $\frac{2}{3}$

Hence,

Number of medium sized shirt = $1-\frac{2}{3}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$
