Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

THe most common mistake would be to think 1/4th of the kites flew, BUT 1/4th of the trapezoidal kites flew.

Hence, 1/4th of 8/9th of the TOTAL KITES FLEW, that is:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}*\frac{8}{9}=\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

hence, 2/9th of the kites flew
