Let the number of students with work experience be (W) and without work experience be (N).
Each student with experience worked with 5 students without experience, so total pairings = (5W).
Each student without experience worked with 3 students with experience, so total pairings = (3N).
Both represent the same total pairings, so:
(5W = 3N)
Thus, the ratio (W:N = 3:5).
Total students = (3 + 5 = 8).
So, the fraction with work experience = (3/8 = 37.5%).
Answer: A. 37 1/2%
