Question

Two-thirds of Tim’s class has cupcakes.One half of the cupcakes have chocolate frosting.what fraction of students have cupcakes with chocolate frosting?

Answer 1

The fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting is
`(1)/(3) x`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the number of students in class be x

According to the question:

Students having cupcake =
`(2)/(3) x`

Frosting cupcakes =
`(1)/(2) X (2)/(3)x`

Fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting =
`(1)/(2) X (2)/(3)x`

=
`(1)/(3)x`

Thus, the fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting is
`(1)/(3) x`
