StartFraction 7 Over 19 EndFraction

Answer 1

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

number of children =18

number of children with blanket= 7

number of children with stuffed animals= 7

number of children with both = 0

therefore new number of children with stuffed animals =7-1

=6

fraction with stuffed animals = 6/18

= 1/3
