1 answer

To find the fraction of those who are cast that got major roles, we need to divide the number of students who got major roles by the total number of students who were cast.

The number of students who got major roles is 6, and the total number of students who were cast is 90 × 1/3 = 30.

So the fraction of those who are cast that got major roles is 6/30 = 1/5.

As a decimal, this fraction is 1/5 = 0.2. Answer: \boxed{0.2}.
