Question

In a classroom, there are 6 3rd-grade students and 10 6th-grade students. Express the ratio of 3rd graders to the entire number of students as a fraction.

I'll give 20 points to whomever answers.

Answer 1

I believe it’s the ratio is 3/8

Answer 2

3rd grade to total = 6/16 = 3.8

Use 3/8 as your answer if you are given that choice.

Explanation:

Answer

Number of 3rd graders = 6

Number of 6th graders = 10

Total of students = 16

The ratio is 6 to 16 or 6/16 Divide top and bottom by 2

The ratio can be reduced to 3/8
