In the students,
512 of the students like rats,
14 of the students like tortoises and the rest like terrapins
- What fraction of the students like terrapins?
- Given that 9 more students like rats than terrapins, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like rats and tortoises
=
512 +
14=
512 +
312=
812=
23Fraction of the students that liked terrapins
= 1 -
23=
33 -
23=
13(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like rats and fraction of the students that like terrapins
=
512 -
13=
512 -
412=
112Total number of students = 12 u
Number of students that like rats more than terrapins = 1 u
1 u = 9
Total number of students
= 12 u
= 12 x 9
= 108
Answer(s): (a)
13; (b) 108
