Question

at one scholl at prep level there were 5 set of twins,two sets of triplets and one set of quadruplets starting school this year. what fraction of those students was just one of those children

Answer 1

Answer: Fraction of twins =
`(5)/(8)` Fractions of triplets =
`(1)/(4)` Fractions of quadruplets =
`(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of set of twins = 5

Number of sets of triplets = 2

Number of sets of quadruplets = 1

Total number of sets is given by

`5+2+1=8`

Now, we need to find the fraction of those students.

So, Fraction of twins is given by

`(5)/(8)`

Fractions of triplets is given by

`(2)/(8)=(1)/(4)`

Fractions of quadruplets is given by

`(1)/(8)`
