Question

3 out of 9 eggs are broken. What fraction of total eggs are damaged?

• A. $\frac{1}{6}$
• B. $\frac{2}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{3}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{3}{9}$ eggs are damaged. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3 we get $\frac{1}{3}$.

Thus, $\frac{1}{3}$rd of the total eggs are damaged.
