Of the 54 students in the school band, 36 are in the seventh grade. If a student from the band is selected at random, what is the probability that the student is in seventh grade?

2/3 of the students are in 7th grade, because 36/54 reduces to 2/3. There is a 2/3 probability that a student from 7th grade will be selected.
