The answer your looking for would be: B. 24/200
Explanation: make an equivalent fraction by multiplying both the top and bottom numbers by 4; 6/50 being the original fraction. So 6 times 4 is 24 and 4 times 50 is 200. Your new fraction is B 24/200 students who decide for volleyball. tip: always remember what you do to the top number in a fraction is what you gotta do to both numbers in the fraction
