Question

1. If 3/5 of the class is girls, and 1/2 of the girls in the class are wearing

dresses, what fraction of the class are girls with dresses? *

Answer 1

1 1/10

Explanation:

3/5 + 1/2 Can't be plused, so we make the denominator the closest number both 5 and 2 go into, 10. So now we need to change the 3 and 1 by timesing them the same numbers we timesed the 5 and 2. We times 3 by 2 and the 1 by 5, making the fractions 6/10 + 5/10 = 11/10. we turn this improper fraction into a mixed number, and the answer is 1 1/10.
