Mr. Hogan's class has 16 students in it. On picture day 5 students stand in the first row, 4 students stand in the second row, 3 students stand in the third row, and 4 students stand in the fourth row.

B. 3/16
C. 5/16
D. 7/16

The answer is D.7/16 due to the fact that there are 4 students in the second row, and 3 students in the third, the ratio would be 7/16.hope i helped.

i think its that because 4 plus 3 equals 7 and they asked second or third row and they only have second row up there and they asked for both so i think 7/16.
