There are 40 students in your class of which 23 are boys. What fraction of the students are girls?​

Sagot :

Answer:17/23

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:  17/40 of the students are girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to find the number of girls in the class, we can subtract the number of boys (23) from the total number of students (40) to get:

40 - 23 = 17

There are 17 girls in the class.

Finally, to get the fraction of the girl students of the class, we can divide the number of girls (17) by the total number of students (40) to get:

17 ÷ 40 = [tex]\frac{17}{40}[/tex]

Since the fraction [tex]\frac{17}{40}[/tex] is already simplified, the final answer comes out to be [tex]\frac{17}{40}[/tex].
