at one scholl at prep level there were 5 set of twins,two sets of triplets and one set of quadruplets starting school this year. what fraction of those students was just one of those children

Respuesta :

Answer:  Fraction of twins = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] Fractions of triplets = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] Fractions of quadruplets = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of set of twins = 5

Number of sets of triplets = 2

Number of sets of quadruplets = 1

Total number of sets is given by

[tex]5+2+1=8[/tex]

Now, we need to find the fraction of those students.

So, Fraction of twins is given by

[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Fractions of triplets is given by

[tex]\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Fractions of quadruplets is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
