Answer: 4/24

Explanation: Multiply the amount of people in the class by the fraction of the class that has blue eyes.

The amount of people in class who have blue eyes: 24 x 1/6= 4

24 represents the total amount of people in the class. And 4 represents the amount of people in the class with blue eyes. You set up the fraction with the amount of blue-eyed people on top, as the numerator. And the total number of people as the denominator.

Once again here’s what it should look like: 4/24


Hope this helps!
