Question

Three-fifths of the students in a room are girls. One-third of the girls have blond hair. One-half of the boys have brown hair. What fraction of the students are girls with blond hair?

Answer 1

Your answer would be 1/5

How to get the answer:

Since 3/5 of the students are girls and 1/3 of them have blonde hair you’d basically multiply 3/5 x 1/3 and you’d get 3/15. Then you have to simplify by dividing by 3 and you get 1/5.

Answer 2

1/5

Explanation:

The answer is 1/5 of the students are blond girls, since 1/3 of 3/5 is 1/5.

Divide 3/5 by 3, which is 1/5.

Hope this helps!
