Question

Use the graph below which shows the number of cans of juice three sixth grade classes drank in each class what fraction of the cans were orange juice

Answer 1

To find the fraction of cans that were orange juice, count the number of orange juice cans and total cans, then calculate their fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction of cans that were orange juice, we need to determine the total number of cans and the number of orange juice cans. From the graph, suppose the total number of cans is represented by T and the number of orange juice cans is represented by O. The fraction is then given by O / T.

For example, if there are 10 cans in total and 4 of them are orange juice, the fraction would be 4 / 10 or 2 / 5.

You can use the same approach with the data from the graph. Count the number of orange juice cans and total number of cans, then calculate their fraction.

Answer 2

In sixth grade class, one out of every three cans of juice is orange juice. The phrase translates to the fraction 1/3, so that is the answer.
