ninety students audition for the school play . one third of those who audition were cast,6 in major roles what fraction of those who were cast got major roles

1 answer

To find the fraction of students who were cast in major roles, divide the number of students who were cast in major roles (6) by the total number of students who auditioned (90):

6 / 90

This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6:

1 / 15

Therefore, 1/15 of the students who were cast got major roles.
