Question

In Megan's class, 4/7 of the students are girls. Of the girls, 2/3 participate in sports. What fraction of Megan's class are girls who participate in sports? (Write your answer as a fraction.)

Answer 1

Explanation:

X = the number of students in Megan's class

4/7 X = the number of girls in the class (G)

4/7 * 2/3 = the number of girls in the class who participate in sports

4/7 * 2/3 = 8/21 of girls in Megan's class participate in sports
