• B. $\frac{1}{5}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

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

Answer: Option A

Explanation:
Number of boys in the class = 28
Number of girls in the class = 14
Total number of students = 28 + 14 = 42

Fractions of students that are girls = $\frac{14}{42}$
= $\frac{1}{3}$
