Question

In a particular class of 27 students,17 are men.what fraction of the student in the class are men

Answer 1

total students = 27
total men = 17
Now,
Fraction of man in class = total men / total students
= 17 / 27
Since, the fraction can't be further simplified, the answer is
`(17)/(27)`

Answer 2

`p \% \ of \ 27=17 \\\\ (p)/(100)*27=17 \\\\ (p)/(100)=(17)/(27) \\\\ p=(100*17)/(27) \\\\ \boxed{p=(1700)/(27)}`
