In a classroom, there are 6 3rd-grade students and 10 6th-grade students. Express the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students as a fraction.(1 point)

and it's not 3/8

1 answer

To find the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students, we need to add the number of 3rd graders and 6th graders and then express the number of 3rd graders as a fraction of the total number of students.

In this case, the total number of students is 6 (3rd graders) + 10 (6th graders) = 16.

Therefore, the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students is 6/16.
