Answer: The fraction of the students in the class are women would be 5/14.

Explanation:

Since there is a total of 28 students in the class and 18 of them are men, that means that 10 of them are women.

To write this as a fraction, you will need to have a numerator and a denominator.

-The numerator is 10

-The denominator is 28

The fraction will then be 10/28, which you can simplify to 5/14.

Therefore, the fraction of the students in the class are women would be 5/14. Hope this helps!
