Question

For a school event 1/6 of the athletic field is reversed for the fifth -grade classes the reserved part of the field is divided equally Among the 4 fifth grade classes in the school what fraction of the whole athletic field is reserved for each fifth class

Answer 1

Answer: 1/24

Explanation:

We have that 1/6 of the total field is reserved for the fifth-grade classes.

We have 4 fifth-grade classees.

Then each one of those 4 classes, has (1/4) of the reserved space.

This is:

space for each fifth-grade class = (1/4)*(1/6) = 1/24

So each fifth-grade class has a 1/24 of the total field.
