Answer:
Fraction \(=\frac{3}{4}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : At memorial hospital 9 of the 12 babies born on Tuesday were boys
To find : What fraction of the babies born on Tuesday were boys
Solution : As we know total number of babies born in memorial hospital = 12
Out of 12 babies number of boys born on Tuesday = 9
So the fraction of babies born on Tuesday were boys
\(=\frac{\text{Number of boys}}{{\text{total number of babies}}}\)
\(=\frac{9}{12}\)
\(=\frac{3}{4}\)
Therefore, The fraction or simplest form of fraction \(=\frac{3}{4}\)
