Answer 1

Answer:I) 28/50

In the lowest form:14/25

II) 18/50

In lowest form : 9/25

III) 4/50

In lowest form:2/25

This is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The fraction of the students is 14/25 and of parents is 9/25 and of teachers is 2/25

It is given that,

Total number of students in a field trip is = 28

Total number of parents in a field trip = 18

Total number of teachers in a field trip = 4

To find : Fraction of students, teachers and parents in the field trip.

To find the fraction of the respective people, first we have to calculate the total number of people that took part in the field trip.

Total number of people = 28 + 18 + 4

= 50 people

So,

Fraction of the students =

$\frac{28}{50}$

$= \frac{14}{25}$

Fraction of the parents =

$\frac{18}{50}$

$= \frac{9}{25}$

Fraction of the teachers =

$\frac{4}{50}$

$= \frac{2}{25}$
