Question

of 36 chemical elements 2 are named for woman scientists and 25 are named for places what fraction out of these 36 are named for woman and places

Answer 1

27/36, or simplified, 3/4

Explanation:

You add the number of elements named after woman scientists to the number of elements named after places: 2+25 = 27.

That is 27 out of the 36, so you put 27 over 36 in a fraction.
`(27)/(36)`

To simplify, divide both 27 and 36 by 9.

27 ÷ 9 = 3;

36 ÷ 9 =4;

Simplified answer is 3/4
