1/3 of girls , 1/2 of boys go to canteen .What factor and total number of classmates go to canteen.

• let total girls be 3 ...
  and total boys be 2 ...
  so total girls going to canteen = 1
  boys going to canteen = 1
  total no. of classmates = 5(only suppose......to find out the factor of students going to canteen...)
  factor of classmates going to canteen=2/5.

• 1/3 of girls, let the number of girls is x.
  1/2 of boys, let the number of boys is y.
  
  factor of classmates that go to canteen:( (x/3) + (y/2) ) / (x+y)
  total number of classmates that go to canteen:(x/3) + (y/2)
  
  So, this can't be simplified further and can't be determined any option as answer
