To determine the fraction of all fans at the football game that were students cheering for the home team, we need to know both the total number of fans and the number of students cheering for the home team.
Let's say:
- The total number of fans at the game is \( T \).
- The fraction of fans cheering for the home team is \( F \) (expressed as a decimal or a percentage).
- The fraction of home team fans that are students is \( S \) (also expressed as a decimal or percentage).
To find the number of fans cheering for the home team:
Number of home team fans = \( F \times T \).
To find the number of students among these home team fans:
Number of students cheering for the home team = \( S \times (F \times T) = S \times F \times T \).
The fraction of all fans that are students cheering for the home team can then be calculated by dividing the number of students by the total number of fans:
\[
\text{Fraction of all fans who are students cheering for the home team} = \frac{S \times F \times T}{T}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
S \times F
\]
If you provide the actual fractions or percentages for \( F \) and \( S \), I can give you the specific fraction of all the fans that are students cheering for the home team.
