★GIVEN★

There are 24 balls in a basket. 8 of them are cricket balls, 7 of them are golf balls

and the rest are tennis balls.

★To Find★

Fraction of the tennis balls in simplest form.

★SOLUTION★

• No of cricket balls = 8
• No of cricket balls = 7

Total balls = 8 + 7 = 15

There are 24 balls in the basket.

So,

No of tennis balls = 24 - 15 = 9

Fraction = 9/24

In simplest form = 3/8

Fraction of tennis balls in simplest form = 3/8.
