Accepted Solution
A:
The probability of a student that earned an A on the test is 7/12.
To get a fraction like this, you put the number of students on the left, or the top and the number of students total on the right, or bottom. Then, you simplify your answer. This brings us to 7/12. You cannot simplify any further because the fraction includes a prime number.
