There are 60 children in the day care center. If 1/5 of the children are preschoolers, 2/3 of the children are toddlers, and the rest are Infants, find the number of children in each age group.

Respuesta :

Answer:

find common denominator

1/5

2/3

common denominator is 15

convert 2/3 into a fraction with a denominator of 15

1/5 —> 3/15

2/3 —> multipky numerator and denominator by 5 —> 10/15 (toddlers)

infants = total - toddlers - preschoolers

infants = 15/15 - 10/15 - 3/15 = 2/15

multipky the fractions by 60 (the total number of students) to find for the number in each age group

(10/15)*60 = 40

(3/15)*60 = 12

(2/15)*60 = 8
