In the students,
512 of the students like hedgehogs,
14 of the students like rats and the rest like lizards
- What fraction of the students like lizards?
- Given that 4 more students like hedgehogs than lizards, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like hedgehogs and rats
=
512 +
14=
512 +
312=
812=
23Fraction of the students that liked lizards
= 1 -
23=
33 -
23=
13(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like hedgehogs and fraction of the students that like lizards
=
512 -
13=
512 -
412=
112Total number of students = 12 u
Number of students that like hedgehogs more than lizards = 1 u
1 u = 4
Total number of students
= 12 u
= 12 x 4
= 48
Answer(s): (a)
13; (b) 48
