In a pre algebra class containing 40 students, there are 18 freshmen, 19 sophomores, and 3 juniors. What fraction of the class are freshmen?

Respuesta :

[tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex] of the class consists of freshmen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of students = 40

Number of freshmen = 18

Number of sophomores = 19

Number of juniors = 3

Fraction of freshmen = [tex]\frac{Number\ of\ freshmen}{Total\ number\ of students}[/tex]

Fraction of freshmen = [tex]\frac{18}{40}[/tex]

Fraction of freshmen = [tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex] of the class consists of freshmen.
