Two-thirds of Tim’s class has cupcakes.One half of the cupcakes have chocolate frosting.what fraction of students have cupcakes with chocolate frosting?

Respuesta :

The fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting is [tex]\frac{1}{3} x[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

Let the number of students in class be x

According to the question:

Students having cupcake = [tex]\frac{2}{3} x[/tex]

Frosting cupcakes = [tex]\frac{1}{2} X \frac{2}{3}x[/tex]

Fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting = [tex]\frac{1}{2} X \frac{2}{3}x[/tex]

                                                                                                = [tex]\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]

Thus, the fraction of students having cupcakes with chocolate frosting is [tex]\frac{1}{3} x[/tex]
