Two fifths of the students in your class are in Band. Of these, one fourth play the saxophone. What fraction of your class plays the saxophone
The fractions of the class is 1/4 because 1/4+1/5=2/5 and 2/5 of the class is in band.
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of students in class is in band = 2 ÷ 5th
And, it is also given that 1 ÷ 4th student of band is play Saxophone.
Thus, Total Saxophone player in class is (Student in Band) × (Student in band also play Saxophone)
⇒ Total Saxophone player in class = \(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10}\)
