Final answer:

To find the fraction of fifth-grade students who submitted their assignments on Monday morning, divide the number of students who submitted on Monday morning by the total number of fifth-grade students. The fraction is 35/87.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction of fifth-grade students who submitted their assignments on Monday morning, we need to divide the number of students who submitted their assignments on Monday morning by the total number of fifth-grade students.

Given that 56/65 of the fifth-grade students submitted their assignments on Monday, and 14/41 of those who submitted on Monday did so in the morning, we can calculate the fraction as:

Fraction = (Number of students who submitted on Monday morning) / (Total number of fifth-grade students) = (14/41) / (56/65)

By simplifying the fraction, we get:

Fraction = (14/41) x (65/56) = 910/2256 = 35/87

Therefore, the fraction of fifth-grade students who submitted their assignments on Monday morning is 35/87.
