In the students,
310 of the students like hamsters,
12 of the students like terrapins and the rest like hedgehogs
- What fraction of the students like hedgehogs?
- Given that 12 more students like hamsters than hedgehogs, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like hamsters and terrapins
=
310 +
12=
310 +
510=
810=
45Fraction of the students that liked hedgehogs
= 1 -
45=
55 -
45=
15(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like hamsters and fraction of the students that like hedgehogs
=
310 -
15=
310 -
210=
110Total number of students = 10 u
Number of students that like hamsters more than hedgehogs = 1 u
1 u = 12
Total number of students
= 10 u
= 10 x 12
= 120
Answer(s): (a)
15; (b) 120
