Question

If

of the class is girls, and

of the girls in the class are wearing dresses, what fraction of the class are girls with dresses?

Answer 1

Let's say there are 100 students in the class.

If 60% of the class is girls, that means there are 60 girls in the class.

If 80% of the girls in the class are wearing dresses, that means 80% of 60, or 48 girls, are wearing dresses.

Therefore, the fraction of the class that are girls with dresses is 48/100, which can be simplified to 12/25.
