Answer:
Fraction [tex]=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : At memorial hospital 9 of the 12 babies born on Tuesday were boys
To find : What fraction of the babies born on Tuesday were boys
Solution : As we know total number of babies born in memorial hospital = 12
Out of 12 babies number of boys born on Tuesday = 9
So the fraction of babies born on Tuesday were boys
[tex]=\frac{\text{Number of boys}}{{\text{total number of babies}}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{9}{12}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, The fraction or simplest form of fraction [tex]=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
