Answer:
7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
In a full set of permanent teeth, 1/4 of the teeth are incisors, 1/4 are premolars, and 3/8 are molars. What fraction of all the teeth are incisors, premolars, and molars?
To solve the above, we add all the fractions together.
= Incisors + Premolars + Molars
= 3/8 + 1/4 + 1/4
Least Common Denominator = 8
= (3 × 1 + 2× 1 + 2 × 1)/8
= 3 + 2 + 2/8
= 7/8
Hence, the fraction of all the teeth are incisors, premolars, and molars is 7/8
