2/3 because 8 divided by 12 is 8/12 but you have to round it and you would get 2/3

Answer: 2/3 set of charms

Explanation:

There are 12 students in a jewelry making class with 8 sets of charms to be divided among the twelve students.

The fraction of set of charms gotten by each student will be the set of charms divided by the total number of students. Mathematically, this will be :

Number of students= 12

Total set of charms= 8

Each student will get = 8/12 = 2/3

Each student will get 2/3 set of charms of jewellery.
