Given the statement:
There are 10 players on the soccer team. Three of the players are in fifth grade. Five of the players are in the sixth grade.
Determine the fraction of the players that are in fifth and sixth grade.
Solution:
Add first the number of players from the fifth grade and sixth grade.
= 3 + 5
= 8
Since the total number of players is 10, we can simply put 10 on the denominator.
= 8/10
Final answer:
8/10 or 0.8
