Answer:

318/1908 (1/6 when simplified)

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

We need to use the given information and turn it into a fraction.

We know that out of the 1908 cupcakes, 318 of them were chocolate flavor.

As a fraction, it would be represented as:

318/1908

If you need to simplify, lets simplify.

The numerator and denominator are divisible by 318.

When you divide both the numerator and denominator by 318, you would get 1/6

This means that the answer is:

318/1908 or 1/6 if you need to simplify
