To find the fraction of sixth-graders that play sports, we need to express the percentage as a fraction.
Since 35% can be written as 35/100, we have:
Fraction of sixth-graders that play sports = 35/100
This can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5:
Fraction of sixth-graders that play sports = 7/20
So, 7/20 of sixth-graders play sports.
