312=
812=
23Fraction of the students that liked snakes

33 -
23=
13(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like cats and fraction of the students that like snakes

512 -
13=
512 -
412=
112Total number of students = 12 u
Number of students that like cats more than snakes = 1 u
1 u = 5
Total number of students
= 12 u
= 12 x 5
= 60
Answer(s): (a)
