Q. In one town there are 2525 drivers under the age of 2121. There are a total of 225225 drivers in town. what is the fraction of drivers under 2121?
  1. Calculate Fraction: To find the fraction of drivers under the age of 2121, we need to divide the number of drivers under 2121 by the total number of drivers in town.\newlineCalculation: 2525 (drivers under 2121) / 225225 (total drivers)
  2. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2525 in this case.\newlineCalculation: (2525)/(22525)=19(\frac{25}{25}) / (\frac{225}{25}) = \frac{1}{9}
