In a class ¹/⁴ of the pupils are girls. ³/⁴ of the girls are boarders and none of the boys are borders what fraction of the class re boarders

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to find the fraction of students who are boarders.

Let's say there are a total of x students in the class.

Given that 1/4 of the pupils are girls, this means that (1/4)x students are girls.

Of these girls, 3/4 are boarders, so the number of girl boarders is (3/4)(1/4)x = (3/16)x.

Since none of the boys are boarders, the number of boy boarders is 0.

Therefore, the total number of boarders in the class is (3/16)x + 0 = (3/16)x.

So, the fraction of the class that are boarders is (3/16)x / x = 3/16.

Thus, 3/16 of the class are boarders.
