In a particular class of 27 students, 18 are men. What fraction of the students in the class are men?

To find the fraction of students in the class who are men, we use the following steps:

1. **Total number of students**: \( 27 \)
2. **Number of men**: \( 18 \)

The fraction of students who are men is given by the ratio of the number of men to the total number of students:

\[
\text{Fraction of men} = \frac{\text{Number of men}}{\text{Total number of students}} = \frac{18}{27}
\]

To simplify this fraction:

\[
\frac{18}{27} = \frac{18 \div 9}{27 \div 9} = \frac{2}{3}
\]

So, the fraction of the students in the class who are men is **\(\frac{2}{3}\)**.
