Question

A daycare center has 4 infants and 11 toddlers. What fraction of the children is infants?

Answer 1

4/15

Explanation:

We need to calculate the fraction of children that are infants in a daycare knowing that:

• 4 are infants
• 11 are toddlers

The fraction will be calculated as:

number of infants / total number of children

So first we need to calculate the total number of children:

total number of children = 4 + 11 = 15 children

So now we can calculate the fraction:

4 infants / 15 children

a fraction of 4/15 children are infants in the daycare.

Answer 2

11+4=15

4/15 are infants
